So what happens when you plug it in to a 1440p monitor? Down scales to 1080p?

Both consoles just seem rushed, in a year of the pandemic

Yes unless the monitor supports downscaling 4k resolutions.

Don't think being rushed has anything to do with it. PS4 Pro was exactly the same.

From what i know the Xbox One X (and therefore Series S and X) does support 1440p outpuit

PS4 Pro doesnt, and yeah, you simply dont have the option of anything higher than 1080p in settings.

No

1440p is closer to 2x the total pixels of 1080p, while 4k is exactly 4x

No it's like the in between resolution. Or QHD. It's pretty common for monitors primarily.

4k is 2160p. Well okay technically 4k is a bit wider than 2160p, but 2160p is often referred to as 4k.

It's really a wonderful resolution because you get way better performance than 4k while still looking better than 1080p. Consoles really should support it for those who play games on gaming monitors

Pretty confident Xbox does since Xbox One X already did.

If I were to guess Sony didn't bother because they don't make gaming monitors as far as I know?

Someone explain like I'm five, why should we care about it not having that resolution when it has a resolution that's twice as good in 4k?

I mean Microsoft doesn't either, lol

Because people have 1440p monitorss that are better for competitive gaming than 4K TVs and I don't think it's very hard for a console to support a lower resolution than 4K

Because of 1440p Displays

1080p on a 1440p monitor doesnt look all that good, and if you get a ps4 pro, or ps5, for such a display, youre stuck with 1080p.

If you have a 1440p monitor you're likely going to be stuck with a 1080p output on PS5. Same if you have a TV that can only support 1440p at 120hz.

It isn't an issue if you play games on a 4k TV or monitor.

Glad I didn't buy a new monitor yet. In fact that was the reason for not even attempting to pre-order a ps5. I'm content with what I have right now and have some real life things I gotta figure out

Wow just realized that. A bunch of people (including me) might have 4K TVs from 2018 or even 2019 that can do 120hz but only at 1440p. Now they have to basically play in 1080p upscaled to 1440p if playing in 120hz modes. That sucks.

TBH I play my OG Xbone on my 4K TV. Doesnt look bad but I have nothing to compare that to.

Non native resolution probably means 1080p could look better anyways.

... on a related note, i aint getting 120hz on my monitor.It supports it yeah, but only over Displayport... which the consoles doesnt have...

Is it that specific resolution that's the issue?

For me personally, 1080p does not look bad on my samsung Q9FN at all (what I plan to do my 120hz gaming on, ain't trying to buy no new TV when I don't need 1 anytime soon), but admittedly my TV is only 65 inches. Its not the end of the world for me anyway, but it does suck for dudes that use 1440p monitors.

1440p gaming is overrated and I game at 1440p.

The returns are so diminished that it makes zero logical sense to spend money on a 2k/4k display strictly for gaming. Movies, sure, yes, it is well worth it.

moreover, how many haters are of the ilk "oh i'm just waiting to buy one on sale" and won't actually use the damn feature in the first place?

Rendering resolution is not the same as resolution output. PS5 games can still render games at 1440p. It just can't output at that resolution natively.

For people who game on monitors 1440p is the most cost effective but still quality option at the moment.

Maybe for a lot of things, but i did get the feel that i needed less AA at 1440p as opposed to 1080p

Also, nice large screen real-estate as they call it.
