Yep, that's also where I'm at. 1440p is a nice middleground between IQ and FPS.
(Though I was also in the "I will be fine with 1080p for ages" camp until I got a 1440p monitor, lol).

I've been there for a few months and It's great.
I feel that any increase in resolution would require a jump in size and I don't want such a large monitor.
Be like Rockstar and make the Source code for your game such spaghetti that even if you had the original it wouldnt matter anyways if someone found it they wouldnt be able to do shit with it (But they lost the spaghetti anyways, RIP RDR on PC)
Ultrawide > 4K any day of the week.
Less pixels to render and much more immersive.

I still game on 1080p. I have a 1080p TV and I sometimes stream to my 1080p ultrawide.
I've considered 4K a few times, but honestly, it's just expensive. Any good 4K TV is super pricey, as you want something that has all the bells and whistles (like VRR/G-Sync), and you also need a beefier computer to use it (though DLSS is definitely ofsetting some of the raw power required for 4K) and when you think about it, it's just costs cascading to further costs. I get decent quality on my 1080p TV, and I worked out if I wanted to upgrade to 4K I'd be looking at spending about £3500 on the TV and hardware alone. And then there's the fact I'd need to upgrade to the more expensive Netflix subscription, buy bigger hard drives for the 4K versions of the shows I watch on Plex, and so on.
I really wish TV manufacturers would make good 1080p or 1440p TV sets at 30-40 inches with HDR and high framerate options. Alas, the industry (both from a marketing and manufacturing perspective) has coalesced around 4K, so that's what we get.

I can only agree. 1440p on 27" has a very good pixel density.
Not hurting for 4K that said the option is nice to have, that's why I like when games feature scaling options that go above 100%.
The last posts is why always encourage people to try PC gaming. Not much money? You can still buy a PC that outmatches PS4 easily (mine did in 2015 with less than 500 bucks). Sitting on a golden throne? Buy once, replace in the next 10 years.
Yeah, 1080p / 144hz is where it's at for me and my weak hardware. I need a new gfx card to fall off the back of a truck.
Carrion is a good game btw.

It looks more like g2a than cdkeys. It lists different sellers
Yeah, Carrion is a nice blend of exploration, strong mechanics, and puzzle solving. It's more of a metroidvania than most metroidvanias. Really good stuff.
120+ Hz for me
Been doing some quick Monster Train runs, gonna aim to get victories with all clan combos for the foreseeable future
Would LOVE to get some of the other cheevos, but attaining Covnenant 25 with each clan as primary? That's gonna be hard to pull off without some lucky gains.

Agreed with the comments about resolution being not so important. Good art direction is 1000x more important than straight up graphics any day.

could use a map, though ... desperately
1080p 144hz with gsync for me to be exact.
Basically:
Framerate > resolution

I can't believe that people are actually arguing they'd rather have 30 fps with higher IQ over 60 fps.
I have keratoconus, you can't fool me with that 30 fps motion blur "buttery smooth" bullshit. Some years ago I had to prioritize a 1 ms/no blur/no ghosting monitor over freesync and high refresh rates.

This. I have found myself lost in this far more times than I'd like.

I was planning to get all
Containment Units
yeah within individual levels it's fine, but on the overworld it's plain annoying, particularly when you're supposed to revisit levels you've done before, as it's never clear that's what you should be doing.
I've literally beat the game just now in fact, and I was glad the game was over by the time I was done, the navigation is just plain frustrating by the end.
Very glad I only paid £1 on Game Pass instead of the full £17 on Steam.
When I saw the control room at the end
with the status of all the levels prior, my heart skipped a beat thinking the game expected me to 100% each level before it would let me finish
If that was going to be the case I was about ready to drop the game right then and there but thankfully not.

yeah ... it gets really confusing REALLY fast
So...is anyone purchasing the Logitech Gaming Chair™?
That chair costs 1/6 of my yearly income, no joke.
probably will skip that one but i have been looking at secretlab chairs. seems like a more reasonable price and i hear good reviews as long as you get the cloth version and not leather.
Maybe a light one, but I don't think it's that important with how the game is designed.
I refuse to buy a 144Hz monitor even though my rig can utilize it, because playing at high frame rate (unreachable to console) will make it hard to go back to console gaming.#BudgetGamingSquad
Therefore, 1080p/60fps/ultra setting is the most comfortable combo to me.
Indeed. That's why anime graphics are always the best.
Would it ruin some kind of immersion or ingame logic to have a map or fuck that, it needs it anyway?
once i figured out that the frontier was basically the hub world and the bright green signs in the level actually served a purpose i didn't need a map. there's really no required backtracking in the game other than the final "level".
also i played some mcc halo 3 with friends and as it turns out the people still playing halo 3 in 2020 are very good 
I wonder if they just kept it on Medium settings
Res talk :
Stop tempting me to buy the AOC 27G2U (1080p/144hz Free/G-Sync monitor, ~240 euros)

Wait instantgaming is legit ? I'm lost in the sea of reseller sometimes.
If they are working like CDKey, it's cool.
Native resolution and as many frames as possible is where I am at. That is also why I'm happy to use a 1080p screen.

- 1080p in the best case scenario, though 50% resolution scale or 720p in some cases.

1440p + G-Sync for me. My screen goes up to 144hz, which is a blessing for 1st person games and racers. For demanding games, I tweak the settings to get around 90fps.
1080p is too low, not just for edge sharpness and/or aliasing depending on monitor size, there are not enough pixels to resolve the detail in the average games. Like dense fences looked awful from a small distance in 640x480 but looked way better further away in 1024 x 768 or something, textures and small details look as bad to me in 1080p now. Plenty lower detail art styles around too I guess, or 2D made for lower resolution and I'm fine playing those windowed or integer scaled but yeah, in general. I'm not some image quality snob but things got consistently bad in recent years, I upgraded to 1440p after my 1080p borked.
It depends on the screen size. In the end pixel density is the key factor. 1080p at 22"-24" looks pretty good actually.
Yeah I have a 24" thats 1080p and I love it. I also use a 15" retina so I can be sensitive to resolution.
Having finally got a 4K TV a few months ago I agree that resolution is overrated. My monitor is still 1080p and I have switched between the two regularly for playing games. The difference doesn't bother me at all.
