  • Considering buying a new, quality monitor for working at home, on Windows.
    Probably a Dell P2415Q, which is 24" 4K IPS, and about £350.

    I play the (increasingly) occasional game on current 1920 x 1080 screen, don't expect PC to run higher resolutions well. The GPU can output 4k OK though.

    If I just set Windows to 1920 x 1080 when required, that would seem to just map 4 screen pixels to 1 game pixel, as 3840 x 2160 is exactly twice as many pixels in both directions.

    Which seems neat... or is not that simple?

  • yeah that's what I do, my GPU isn't capable of playing most games at a decent frame rate at 4k so I set them to 1080.

  • @chrisbmx116

    Thanks people.

    Surprised to realise I've had my PC (except GPU) and FHD monitor since 2011. The days of everything doubling in performance/capacity/pixels every 2 years or so are long gone.
