Question About 1440p Monitor.

[EpicLegendsHD]

If I bought a 1440p monitor and downscaled it to 1080p would it be like I had a 1080p 144hz monitor? Is there and hiccups with downscaling? thanks.

downscaling does not increase monitor hz. The monitor is only rated for 60hz it will never exceed that regardless of what resolution you set it to.

I have yet to see a monitor at other than it's native scale that didn't annoy me.

Besides the monitor Hz not changing as the other guy said, generally the image quality is decreased. A monitor's optimal image quality is at native resolution. I speak from experience on that. I have a Dell 27" 1440p monitor used for PC gaming and connected my PS4 to it running at 1080p. The menu and game graphics looked inferior (more fuzzy) than compared to when the PS4 is connected to it's normal 32" 1080p TV that I use as a desktop monitor for it.
