I’ve had a few people tell me this over the years and just wondering if anyone knows how true it is. I guess the sentiment is that 1080p on any gaming pc device including laptops is much easier to run, and is way less harder on any gaming pc or laptop. Therefore the laptop theoretically has a much higher chance to last longer than a 1440p or 4K gaming laptop. Any truth to this?
Not true at all. You should buy the best resolution display possible, in worst case scenarios you decrease in game resolution. A 1080p display in 2023 is just sad. It lacks image quality and it’s more blurry.
You don’t want just a gaming laptop, you use it for other things like media content and so on.
The quality of the display is one of the major factors when chosing a laptop.
The rest of your post is fine but this but is just untrue. You’ll find a huge portion of the laptop market is still 1080p and it’s perfectly okay, it’s FHD.
For laptops (which generally have a smaller screen than desktop monitors), the pixel density is still good at 1080p.
Sure, you’d notice a difference if you tried to go from 1440p back to 1080p. And there’s other factors like contrast and colour for the display. But 1080p in 2023 is not sad.
Well I’m on a 2K macbook though lol so it might be rough going back to 1080p…tough decision for me
It is rough, even more considering the quality of display macbook’s have.
yeah idk if i can do 1080 the more i think about it lol i think ima just get the asus zephyrus g14. It’s 1440p and really light and from what i understand really reliable too for a light gaming laptop
im on an M1 14 Pro right now so going down to 1080p will probably be way too much of a downgrade for me
I have heard great things from the g14 from the Zephyrus subreddit, check there. There is a model with a oled panel
I recently bought, not a gaming laptop, but a vivobook S14 with a 2.8k Oled display, and damn, it´s hard, very hard to return to 1080p after it. The washed out colors and lack of contrast are a turn off, not matter the graphic card is in it.
Yes, nits and contrast are another huge deal, and you usually find no more than 250/270 nits in them, like the Victus ones. Also contrast, and the colors, the Acer ones sometimes not even 75% of sRGB achieve. That’s sad. Once i left 1080p to 1440p and currently 1880p, there is no turning back. And like i said, you can just reduce ingame resolution for good performance.
There’s both good and bad 1080/1440 screens. Some of the highest end Alienwares only have 300 nits lmfao.
300 nits already allows you to turn HDR on on Windows 11.
