- apahwa 6y agowhy do you prefer 1080?
- stagger87 6y agoLonger battery life and no app scaling issues (on the apps I use)
- precurse 6y agoI prefer it since 1080p takes less resources to drive, therefore gets better battery life. On a 14" display, I think 1080p looks more than fine. If I want a hidpi display, I'll just dock to an external display.
- neogodless 6y agoMy eyesight is not great. The higher resolution screen is wasted on me, and wastes computing / energy resources to drive it. I enjoy gaming on my laptop, and prefer native resolution gaming. I require a high refresh rate due to post-concussion syndrome. So sure, if that can be the case with a higher resolution that's fine, but that isn't the norm yet. (2021 seems to be the year for QHD 165Hz though!) I'm in no way saying QHD or 4K isn't ideal for anyone. It's just silly to say that "this option I don't want is a non-starter" as if it applies to everyone.
- mrec 6y agoSame here. I (old fogey) use a 1080p 24" monitor with my desktop, and don't feel any particular need for more.
- kensai 6y agoSometimes I wish there was the possibility to see the exact number of upvotes or downvotes a response got here in HN in order to settle the numbers of such opinions (pro and contra).
- gostsamo 6y agoThere are hn polls.
- unethical_ban 6y agoI'll play this game. Reasons to like lower resolution screens: * Concerns about power * Concerns about HiDPI issues / fractional scaling, esp. with Linux * Likes seeing pixels * Price
