none...

2880x1620p75, 3k is the sweetspot for me x)

ok i could vote 2560x1440p75 since it's the screen native res, out of the box.
 
1850x1024 60hz. Just not by choice.
 
You're a pioneer! You got the first next gen Radeon 7770! :D :cool:
I've thought about upgrading to something in the 21st century, but I don't game, so it's hard for me to justify spending money on something, when what I have works great for my needs. And, I still use my iPhone 6s, still fulfills all I need a phone for, here's the kicker, I'm not tight or frugal, I just have other hobbies, like restoring Go Karts and Riding Mowers, and rebuilding small engines.
 
4k 144hz on my main computer. I just can't play 1080p. If anything maybe 1440p would suffice if the FPS is too low but I'd rather crank some detail down.
 
No 3840x1600? :(
 
I would but you limited the number of vote choices. I have multiple systems with various default resolutions... You should have allowed for at least 2 or 3 choices.
Just pick your favorite one. :D
 
what is the point of making a poll if 1/3 of resolutions is missing ? :confused:
4k for gaming its usless, for tv and movies it's fine, 2k is enought at 120 or 144hz no need for 240hz rgb kikoulol,

I understand. In the late 90s I didn't have my own PC yet, I had other hobbies, RC cars scale gas 1/10 and 1/5 on and off road which wasn't a cheap hobby, and on my room I had a CDi player with games, movies + internet on TV with CDi.
Good times and I could do without a computer back then.
 
on steam 1080p is the absolute king. TPW users are the 1 percenters :D

The point is to show more or less the users' preferences, without too much details. You can choose between the most popular ones, if you don't see the one that you like, just select the closest relative.
It is intentionally an one-choice poll, in order to better understand what is the user favourite.

It is obvious that all of us use multiple resolutions on the different devices that we have. That's not the point.

Why would you say 4k is useless for gaming? I play 3849x2160 and it's been great. I can't imaging moving to a lower res unless I have no choice due to performance issue.
 
Not surprised that no one voted for 8K. It's just too soon for it to have much of an impact.

The cheapest 8K monitors and TVs are like 3000$, it's not too soon, they're just insanely expensive.
 
Dual 1080P screens for me
computer cant do much better
eyes cant see much better
 
Interesting that more people are now using UHD rather than HD. I imagine that this percentage will only increase with time.
 
It's a pretty dumb statement tbh. I used to use a 27" 1080p monitor, but it looked fine at the back of my desk. My current config with dual 4k screens I have them much closer cause of the DPI. I mean a 1080p 47" TV still looks good when you're sat at the correct distance, but up close would look awful.
 
I've been in 3440x1440 for a couple of years but thinking of moving to 4K.
 
2x 25x14@75, currently limited by my KVM. Once KVMs that support DP alt mode over USB-C arrive, i.e. that aren't limited to a hard number of monitor inputs/outputs, arrive I will add another 25x14@75 screen, because current KVMs that support 2 monitors are ridiculously expensive and those that support 3 are ridiculously absolutely stupidly expensive.

1080p means less detail, no matter the distance. The distance only helps you for one thing - to not see the awful large physical pixels which build the panel matrix.

I have a 55" 4K TV, and I honestly can't see much difference between 4K and 1080p films. The level of detail on screen and the level of detail visible from your viewing distance are two totally different things.
