Im considering upgrading to a 1440p monitor and my primary uses are videos, anime, and around 1-2 hours of gaming a day. If I were to watch a 1080p or 720p video on lets say youtube would the image be blurry on a 1440p monitor? should I just stick with 1080p for watching online? Thanks

And from what I can tell... you won't see that much a difference between 1080P and 1440P with your gameplay. I had the option of buying an LG Ultra Widescreen monitor but went with 1440. If I had to do it all again I would have gone for the Ultra, instead... but my next monitor will be an Ultra Widescreen for sure. You should think about getting one yourself.. something that's at least 34".
