1440p Monitor: the perfect balance between performance and image quality

The 1440p , it is the right balance between Full HD and 4K.

You gain in sharpness, you benefit from a finer image and significantly superior visual comfort, especially on screens between 27 and 32 inches.

• More details → sharper textures, better immersion.
• More screen space → ideal for multitasking, creators, and streamers.
• Less demanding than 4K → you keep high FPS without ruining your graphics card.

To put it simply, a 1440p PC screen allows you to enjoy precise graphics without sacrificing fluidity, which is not always guaranteed by 4K.

Some models go even further with crazy refresh rates: up to 240 Hz !

If you play FPS games like Valorant, Apex Legends, or CS2, you know how important responsiveness is. 240 Hz 1440p screen combines two worlds:

• a sharp image thanks to the QHD resolution,
• and a incredible fluidity thanks to the ultra-high frequency.

But be careful: to exploit a 1440p 240 Hz screen , a powerful graphics card is required ( RTX 5070 Ti , RX 9700 XT or better). Otherwise, you will not fully benefit from the frequency, and you might as well stick to 144 Hz.

1440p makes sense between 27 and 32 inches.

• At 27 inches , you have excellent pixel density: everything is fine and precise.
• At 32 inches , you gain in visual comfort, but the screen takes up more space on your desk.

The rendering will also depend on the distance you have: less than 60 cm, the 27-inch is perfect for gaming or work.
