In a way, low resolution "mutilates" graphics by introducing edge aliasing. A 4k computer monitor at 24-27" goes a long way toward fixing this issue with pixel density.1080P@60hz. Very Ok with it.
Will go straight to 4k in about five years, once the 400$/€ graphics cards, can deliver 60fps without mutilating the games.
2560x1440, 60Hz. Very happy with it for the past 6 years, although in time (when this monitor dies, I expect), I'll probably move to 3440x1440 (if there's a sub-$1000 FreeSync HDR 1800R curved VA (or at least IPS) ~34" monitor with reasonable colour accuracy available at that time).
You might have a point there, but at least this one has a CCFL backlight (Dell U2711), so it'll die eventually. I have no need to replace a very, very good monitor purely out of tech-lust, fortunatelyWaiting for a monitor to die may seem like a good idea initially, until you realize it may outlast you.
4k or I don't play at all. Dead serious. Could really use Vega to help with this.
