There are a of lot reasons to game at 1080p
* You don't really want a bigger monitor than 24" for competitive shooters, because then you can't see everything at once. There is only one 1440p monitor in that size that I know of and no 4k monitors that I know of
* You want a monitor with 144Hz (or better!) and low input latency. 1440p and 4k monitors that do this are rare or non existent
* Easier to stream
* Overall appearance of a game at 1080p with more anti aliasing vs 4k with less isn't that difference. text being an exception of course.
- orbifold 8y agoDell manufactures a 4k monitor at 24'', I have one at home. They surely are not the only ones: https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-24-ultra-hd-4k-monitor-p2415q/apd/210-agnk/monitors-monitor-accessories https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-24-ultra-hd-4k-mon...
- gameswithgo 8y agocool, I think things are moving in a direction where 4k high level gaming is going to be more possible. The dell monitor is still only 60hz so isn't going to be desirable yet, but that could change soon. the other issue is input latency which is hard to find specs for. I have an old dell 1080p monitor that is a total outlier on that end and I never want to give it up! but yeah, with more 24" options, higher refresh rates, and the latest nvidia cards 4k, 144hz gaming is going to be viable soon.

- gameswithgo 8y agoyeah last I looked Dell was the only 24" 1440p I could find. it is tempting!
