PS4 on 1440p monitor?

[ixelion]

I was thinking about buying a PS4 and hooking it up via HDMI to my 1440p simultaneously with my PC, and switching between the two when needed. I am guessing PS4 games are going to upscale, is this is an ideal solution? I guess there seems to be a lot of games that will output less than 1080P so I guess this problem will persist even if I were to switch to a 1080P monitor?

Any thoughts on this or ideal solutions for someone who does not really like couch+TV setup?

its gonna depend on how the PS4s upscaling works i know for the PS3 when playing on a 1200P monitor i could not run it at 1:1 because i would get a 720p window surrounded by black, even with the output set to 1080p i had to set it to stretch to get it to scale right, which made everything kinda ovalish
1440 is still 16:9 so you might not have that issue,

when i ran the PS3 through a AVR that did the upscaling i got a 1080p letterboxed outpout on the 1200p monitor

were you generally happy with upscaling with ps3 on games? I assume you were TV+couch setup?

yea the "stretch" is fine for 1920x1200p going to 2560x1440 is gonna be a bigger move but i imagin it will look fine as monitor pixel density is so small.

i play PS3 on a TV and on a monitor. mostly because i have 2 of them and i dont always like using headphones which is why one was hooked to the home theater.

I cant get my ps4 to play on my 1600×900 is there a reason

try manually setting the output rez to 720p

The PS4 is not going to upscale anything. It's going to output natively at 1080p, 720p, or whatever the game is running in. It's your monitor that's going to need to upscale. How good this looks will depend entirely on your monitor, but it will never look as good as something running in the monitors native resolution.

I wouldn't bother. I tried using a PS3 on my 1440p monitor and it looked like garbage. I could try hooking up my PS4 to it, but I highly, highly doubt it would look good.
