Will the look of downscaling to 1080p on a 24 inch 1440p monitor be similar to a native 1080p 24 inch monitor?
I have tried 24 and 27 inch monitors and for me, the dream monitor is having 1440p on a 24 inch monitor because (1) it’s a good size for gaming (also i prefer 1080p for competitive) and (2) 1440p looks insanely good when editing photos and videos. As of now,…

As of now, I have found a monitor the monitor that matches this category. However, I am a bit worried if downscaling to 1080p on a native 1440p monitor would look the same as a 24 inch 1080p monitor.

why do you prefer lower res for competitive games as they are usually easier to run and higher res literally can help you see targets better for example in fps games
Often times highly competitive gamers prioritize the highest FPS possible. Sometimes this means going for a display that can do 500 Hz at 1080p. To many competitive gamers, the frame rate is more essential than the resolution. Competitive gaming is a pretty extreme sport. They're not prioritizing the specs like you and I would (like a fine balance between highest video quality and FPS) They go all out for FPS to provide themself the beat advantage possible.
i know, i was asking OP personally
Man that’s really a pain. I really wish more manufacturers start to make dual mode 24 inch monitors cuz there is a market for that. Btw, this is the monitor I was referring to in the post (OMNIA O25MLIF). It’s the asian variant of the Innocn
Will look forward to that. You got any recommendations? I can’t seem to find a 4K 24” in my area (it’s mostly either 27 or 32)
5800X3D + 5060 Ti. I don’t care about ms or lag cuz yeah you can’t distinguish it but the reason my category is specific is because 24” is just a perfect size for me and I want to have the flexibility of switching res depending on the job (editing, gaming, etc.) I do agree 1080p on 27 inch is terrible. Will try out the idea of u/bunchofsugar
Yea 1080p on 27 inch looks terrible, but I’m talking about 24 inches
Well monitors that have dedicated chips to do resolutions that scale unevenly is an extremely new tech. 4k and 1080p dual mode has been out for awhile now because it's extremely simple to scale those resolutions without much loss in visual quality. Maybe in a year we'll start seeing more, but I bet they're probably expensive.
Yea that was an option but so far, there’s no dual mode 24 inch monitors as of the moment.
They are not correct anyways. 1080p looks blurry on a 4k monitor as well because of scaling.
The 4K monitor idea? 5060ti isn’t really a 4K GPU. It’ll work for photo editing and what not but it’ll be chuggy as fuck for gaming. Also, jumping up in screen size feels weird at first but you’ll quickly get used to it.
No, not at all. 1080p monitor on 1080p will look noticeably better because 1440p isn't a perfect multiplier of 1080p. If you did 1080p on 4k it would look fine because 4k is precisely 2x the resolution of 1080p. It's still going to be playable, but you'd see a downgrade in quality. I'd either get 4K 27" and play 1080p on that or just stick with 1440p in most games and deal with the loss in visual quality for 1080p. They're also trying to come out with triple mod monitors in the future where they can do all three resolutions (4K, 1440p, and 1080p) and using a dedicated chip in the monitor to make the scaling to 1440p look significantly better than if scaled on a normal 4K monitor.
There are reasons for that. First of all competitive FPS like CS and Val do demand high FPS, you need like ~300 for them to be smooth, regardless of your monitor refresh rates. And the second is that changing resolution does mess with your muscle memory, since mouse will behave slightly different. PS: There is nothing wrong with downscaling, OP. PPS: You may want 4K screen if you work with photos/videos. 1440 is kinda obsolete for the job.
4K dual mode isn't perfect, especially that most of monitors don't use integer scaling so you see blurriness on edges of text.
Well mostly because I came from CS:GO and I’m already used to low resolution (1280x960 4:3 stretch res), so it doesn’t really matter to me + i prefer the look of my crosshairs in 1080p rather than 1440p. Of course for AAA games and editing, native res all the way
No, not at all. 1080p monitor on 1080p will look noticeably better because 1440p isn't a perfect multiplier of 1080p. If you did 1080p on 4k it would look fine because 4k is precisely 2x the resolution of 1080p. THIS IS NOT TRUE. This is an old myth that keeps persisting for some bizarre reason even though 4k monitors are more popular now and people should know better. 1080p upscaled to 1440p or 2160p will essentially look the same in both instances, all else being equal. Even with integer scaling, it's still not perfect and can cause an oversharpened image when not working with actual pixel aligned content.
I downscale Overwatch in a 1440p 240hz monitor to 1080p. It looks fine. I would for 1440p with a higher refresh rate. I think the advice of 4k with lower refresh rate is a real. If you can afford one that has high refresh rates, sure go for it.
What hardware are you rocking? Dropping down to 1080p for esports competitive games is basically unnecessary in most competitive shooters with modern hardware, especially if your monitor doesn’t have an insane refresh rate. You’ll always loose PPI (pixel per inch) downscaling. Size of the monitor is generally proportional to the resolution and aspect ratio. 1080p = 24” 1440p = 27” 4K = 32”. So a standard 27” at 1080p monitor will look worse than a 24” one because the PPI will decrease. This is only not true of widescreen/ultrawide monitors because they solve this by adding more horizontal pixels in relation to the extended aspect ratio. But in general if you can hit an FPS equal to the refresh rate of monitor, there’s not much point dropping resolution. On the highest end hardware you’re talking about a ms or two of “inout lag” which is completely indistinguishable by a non-professional player. You’ll almost certainly have vastly more audio lag or peripheral lag than monitor/ hardware.
from personal experience, downscaling anything to 1080p on my 27 inch 1440p monitor looks terrible and blurry. text and icons also look horrendous.
Why not a dual-mode 4K/1080p monitor? Then there will be no downscaling, and downscaling doesn’t really look good.
There is no great solution here other than to have dual monitors. Even then, having different resolutions on each can cause some issues at times. But it's still the best option. This is always one of the more unspoken disadvantages of moving to 1440p or 4k - 1080p content will look noticeably worse. And there's a lot of 1080p content out there still.
no, because it’s all related to scaling
2560x1440 on a 24" monitor = 122 PPI, this will look sharper 1920x1080 on a 24" monitor = 92 PPI, your 1080p games will look native 1080p 2560x1440 on a 27" monitor = 108 PPI
