Pixel count comparison
1440p packs 1.78× more pixels per frame than 1080p, meaning more detail and sharper text at the same screen size — but also more GPU load.
Which should you choose?
Pick 1080p for high frame rates on a budget GPU, smaller displays (≤24"), or competitive gaming. Pick 1440p for 27" displays, productivity, and a noticeable jump in clarity without 4K's GPU cost.
