IGN Italy: PS5 won't support 1440p output
- Thread starter Era Uma Vez
- Start date
- News
Just to clear up if there is a little confusion. This isn't about a console being able to play games at 1440p, it's about the console having native 1440p output for 1440p monitors.
pretty much, it'd be nice to have an option with better framerate at 1440p.
140p/120fps would be a perfect middleground for this generation. Samsung TVs for example can output 1440p natively.
Wowow, that kind of astounds me. How hard is it to downscale an image in real time? PS4 pros can even live stream, right? They already support downscaling from 4k to 1080p live then, how hard would it be to have that also be 1440p
I wouldn't have said it otherwise. I've only ever seen consoles hooked up to TV's it's not a big deal really.
This makes no sense. BenQ just came out not too long ago and said that PS5 will support 1440p due to the compatibility with their monitors. I find it kind of hard to believe that IGN Italy of all publications would have news that important only privy to them, but it's stopping people in this thread from concern trolling already.
He was making a reference about Don Mattrick's Xbox One comments for those who didn't want always online, the Xbox 360.You don't know what are you talking about, this is about 1440p output signal like Xbox One do:
Seems the joke passed you by, buddy.
To be fair it's a still a niche resolution for PC gamers let alone console gamers. As long as it will output in 4K mode and super sample there shouldn't be an issue?
Really? You really aren't aware of young people who have everything hooked out on ther desks, in their room, rather than in the living room? Having both a PC and one or two consoles connected to the same monitor on a desk is a very common thing. Especially for young people who still live with their parents (but not only for them).
honestly I'm not sure I'd believe anything until someone with a 1440p monitor tests this directly, maybe once the next embargo lifts DF can confirm?
Anecdotally for the majority of the people I play Destiny 2 with and that is close to 40 people none of them use a TV. I would even go as far to say monitors in general are very high in usage for console gaming, maybe not 1440p as its very specific but 1080p or 4k.
Perhaps, but I'm an old fart who's only ever played consoles on a TV.
Simply not true. Many people have their consoles on their desk setups. 1440p is a very common resolution for monitors.
This is just about output resolution. Games can still run at 1440p but will either be upscaled to 4k or supersampled on 1080p TVs.
OOF, but not unsurprising considering their silence, not that bothered since I have a 4K TV but no reason to not have the option.
Can we bury this phrase please? It's dismissive and almost never used correctly. Concern trolling isn't when someone has a concern and voices it, it's when someone voices a "concern" disingenuously with an underlying motive to appear more agreeable and empathetic. People with 1440p screens worried about whether the system can output at 1440p isn't trolling.
A lot of people play on monitors. PC gamers who also have consoles in their rooms, students in dorm rooms, people who move consoles frequently (probably not gonna be a thing so much given the size of the PS5), people who play fighting games, tournament settings, etc.
And what does that have to do with assuming that "almost no one plays consoles on a monitor"?
But how many people? Do we have stats on the percentage of console owners who game on a 1440p monitor compared to a 1080p monitor, 1080p TV or 4KTV?
What does that mean? Only the UI will look bad with a 1440p monitor but the games will look fine?

This has nothing to do with that. This is MONITOR OUTPUT.
This is about games rendered at 1440P not being able to output image at 1440p on a 1440p screen, and so they will be downsampled to 1080p.
Could be due the way Ms and Sony handle output resolutions differently.
On Xbox the output resolution does not affect the game and the console either downsamples or upscales if the native resolution mismatches the output.
On Pro it seems the output resolution is exposed to the game which is the one that decides how to handle (that's why some games run better when outputting at 1080p)
So a 1440p resolution could both potentially break old games (though that's easy to solve) or add more burden on developers to handle a 3rd target resolution that isn't even used on TVs.
Something 4k 120hz with an HDMI 2.1 port (a rarity unfortunately...)
Come on man you're smarter than your reply. Obviously I was saying I'm stuck in my old ways and if I were a kid in 2020 perhaps I would be using a monitor.
Sucks for the small handful of people with a 1440p monitor.
Sony didn't bother patching support for that resolution into the Pro so it seems unlikely they will for PS5

It is a shame since I game mostly on a monitor and 4K monitors do not have the best motion resolution due to the low refresh rate. There is always a choice of running it in 1080p 120Hz if you are really into competitive FPS shooters. Realistically, 120 fps is probably only reachable at 1080p resolution anyway with decent image quality.
Depends on your needs and budget. You can get a decent 4k monitor for under $300, or you can get a 1080p 120Hz+ monitor for under $200
Games can render internally at whatever resolution they want, then they are output at a specific resolution. So if the game runs at 4K or 1440p, and you want to display it on a 1440p monitor, you'll have to set the system to output to 1080p. Rendered resolution is different from output resolution.
If you believe that is the official Sony wording then delete it right now, unless you're lying, you wouldn't be lying would you?
How many people in this thread are running free damage control for Sony for no reason? Probably way less than people who have consoles hooked up to a 1440p monitor. Since there are no numbers available for this anywhere and you already knew that, that's all I've got for you.
Well, if were looking at Steam, where I'm sure a lot of people would be playing if they're also using a PS5 and hooking their monitor up to it, according to them, only 7.70% of people are running at 1440p on their primary displays. Of course, 4K is behind at 2.30%, but 1080p is still far and away the most common at 65.67%. I myself use a 1440p monitor and think it's weird for Sony not to support it, but it's still a minority.
The output resolution is the final pixel grid sent over the hdmi cable to your screen. You want this to be equal to your screen so additional scaling doesn't need to occur. The more you scale, the more information you lose. So ps5 owners on 1440p screens will have games running above 1080p, likely reconstructing (scaling) to 4k, then downsampling to 1080p, then the monitor upscales that to 1440p. It looks terrible.
