What is the benefit of playing games at 1920x1080?

Guys,I have a RES. about 1368X768.a frnd of me is doing fun on me cause he is saying that very soon I will have a powerful gpu but don't have a decent RES.monitor so I can't utilize it well.can u tell me what is the advantage of it?What I find out that it's have a bigger screen.This RES. have become standard of testing games.Thanksssssssss

- It's bigger.
- More pixels, so you can see more stuff at once.
- It's native resolution for BluRays etc.

It's MIND BLOWING experience.

1920*1080 is what is considered 'TrueHD' as apposed to 'HDReady' which is around the likes of 1368*768 (It can vary slightly), in terms of gaming, it creates a bigger picture, it allows for native streaming to TrueHD TVs and for graphics *****s it just makes the game a lot better. Most games are starting to come into this set of TrueHD resolutions but your screen doesn't need to be to enjoy the benefits as mine is 1650*1080, and there's virtually no difference between them, but the games' resolution can not go beyond the capabilities of your monitor.

Why limit yourself to that old res of 1080 when there is much better out if you can afford it. 2560 x 1600 on a 30 inch display is to die for.

Well that goes for anything doesn't it?
"Why have good if you can afford better"

In this case, 1080p is stretching the limits for people to tell the difference with their eyes, especially as 40% of the worlds population do not have 20/20 vision. There's also the factor of "Will the TV die before high res content becomes commonplace. I'm sure you've heard of 4K TV's being the future, available to buy now, but you wont find a 4K TV channel for about 5 years, and even then it will only be a premium service, they only have about 3 HD channels on Freeview HD right now anyway. Decades will pass before resolutions like that become common.

^^ I do understand all of that. But I see so many that think 1080p is the limit in gaming or otherwise. The title was gaming at 1080p not watching tv at 1080p. I'm an early adopter of tech I admit. I'm in the top 1% of the handful that game at my res I know. Not everyday joe can afford $1200 for a display to game on. But I'm just saying there is better available as I mentioned. Yes 4K is coming and won't have any content for a while. Just that there are other options out there if you look right now thats better than the standard 1920 x 1080 so many are stuck on for gaming.

Sorry, I forgot it was just about gaming XD

Don't forget 1080p is television and has nothing to do with computer monitors and the resolutions they support.

You don't think there's a reason they're stuck on 1080p? $150-300 for a standard 24 inch 1080p. $400 for a 120Hz one. $1200-1700 (Dell's 1600p) is actually more towards the price range of a mid-end home TV. Looking at the demographics of USA tells you that people aren't gonna spend this money on their PC monitors, let alone if they're running $500 s**t-boxes.

Also, the OP is on a budget, as I know from his previous threads.
