    Hello! I wanted to buy a new monitor, but I noticed this monitor that I have interest in buying runs at 2560x1440 native.

     

    Lets say I have a 1080p native 27" monitor and this 27" monitor as well @ 2560x1440 native

     

    If i run games with x1440 native monitor @ 1080p resolution, will the quality be worse than the 1080p native monitor?

     

    i'm not sure if i asked that correctly, any respond would be appreciated thanks!

    It'll look stretched and not as good as the 1080p native
    Lower the settings before lowering resolution

    This, if you absolutely HAVE TO run a game in 1080p on a 1440p monitor make sure you tell your GPU to letter box it instead of stretching to fit.

    I imagine 1080p would still look good on 1440p. 

    People say 720p looks horrible on a 1080p screen but its not much of a difference to me.

    Yeah always use the native resolution.

    If your PC can't run games in 1440p, then don't get a 1440p screen.

    It depends on the monitor really.

    OP, whats your GPU? are you thinking its not powerful enough for 1440p Gaming? I'd recomend atleast a 670 SLI or a 680 SLI setup (if you roll nvidia) if you plan on gaming on it at 1440p... you could make do with a single 670 or 680 though, just dont plan on turning all the settings to max on the newest games.
