I was going to stay 1080, but yeah got a TCL and don't regret it. I mean, I accept that it was an expensive move, but if it lasts then it was well worth the bump. Even my PS4 popped like I never knew it could.
I'm in the same boat. I'd love to upgrade one of my monitors to a higher framerate/resolution, but I already justified the price of my Series X. I don't think I can talk myself into another big purchase right away. Maybe if there is a killer Black Friday sale, otherwise I'll probably wait until next year.
There really are a lot of good reasons to stick to 1080p for a desktop kind of gaming setup : it's the most compatible and least troublesome modern resolution in regards to PC games released even up to the early 2010's. It's the resolution that enables the most "range" for downsampling from 1620p/4K when you can afford it and fall back to 1080p when there are other priorities, such as framerate and ray-tracing. It's also the ideal native resolution for the Switch and pretty much every other HDMI console that can't upscale wathever the internal resolution of the game is higher than 1080p.
That's fair. We all have different tolerances to what we can and can't see. Having the feeling that you're making the most out of your experience should still feel pretty cool, though!
