IGN Italy: PS5 won't support 1440p output

Glad I play on a TV, I guess. I wonder how many people play on monitors for console gaming. It's a bummer, no idea if it's something that can be patched, but if so, I hope they do!
irrelevant?
SOOOO MANY people on this board hype that they play in 1440p.
more people play in 1440 than 4k.
i pray for yall.

You're gonna be playing at 1080p, 60at best. This happened to me with the PS4 Pro.
Means you're going to be staring at a stretched 1080p image for the generation. Unless your monitor cann accept a 4k signal and downscale it . Mines cannot. 😔😔
Lots of people game on 1080p monitors if the Steam survey is anything to go by.
~14% of steam gamers play in resolutions above 1080p. What a non-issue this is.
Game gets downscaled from an upscaled 4K mode to 1080p, then upscaled to 1440p.
Yummy
Not a dealbreaker but i had planned to move my PS5 into my office next to my desktop which is a 1440 monitor. Really sad as it seems many PC enthusiast gamers if they get a console, pick up a PS5 and not supporting 1440 just seems like an odd choice.
Im not saying it's right that it doesn't just saying Im not surprised because its seems some tv companies do and some don't and sony is one of them
You would think that Sony's newest console would easily support it, considering that it's much more powerful than the PS4 Pro. Pathetic.
No, it doesn't.
No, it doesn't.
So, the image gets downscaled to and output at 1080p and then stretched by the monitor to 1440p? This doesn't sound good if that's the case. I was hoping that until I am comfortable buying a new TV that I could use my 27" 144Hz G-Sync to try out games that support high refresh, but now I'm thinking I might just use my 4K TV @ 60Hz and call it a day.
Feel like Sony made the consideration for their business, adding 1440p means they sell less TVs.
Not saying the effect is massive on their TV sales but why add anything that would be a negative on that sector....

I don't buy this. Sony doesn't even show their own phones when launching the new PS app (demos were on iPhones). Their TV business is tiny and both low margin and revenue compared to Playstation nowadays.
This does seem like something easily fixable in a software update though, so hopefully Sony gets some pressure to fix this.
I think it's already the case this gen in some scenarios. Xbox one S version of doom I and Ii is 4k while ps4 is stuck at 1080p.
and this board is niche AF in comparison to the overall gaming market, so ya basically irrelevant.
I also just bought a 1440p165hz monitor btw x'D
Well good thing i bought a damn 4k60 monitor lol, I knew this would happen. I now have a 1080p/144 monitor, 1440p/144hz gsync monitor, a 4k60 monitor, and a 4k sony tv in my damn room. I would use the 4k tv for the next gen consoles but I prefer to play on monitors.
haha, that's true. even less tv people can do 120fps at this point in time compared to who game at 1440 on monitors currently.
That...complicates my next-gen plans, as I'd wanted to use the PS5 in my office (won't fit in my TV stand) with a 144hz monitor.
It'll run but you'll have a 1080p image stretched out to 1440p unless your monitor supports having 4k stretched down to 1440p.
afaik it means you get a lovely blurry messy 1080p output on your 1440p display.
Puts me right off going Sony next gen.
So if i have 1080 screen, and i play the game with 4k 30fps. It will stay 1080p image, or 4k downsampled to 1080p?
Would it look that bad though? The internal resolution of the game shouldn't be any different and it would just downsample to 1080p and I would guess that the game would not look any different.
I only mention that as I didn't realise I had my One X set to 1080p for probably a week now, I set it back to 4k and there was no difference (watch dogs Legion, Sony x950h at 2m away).
I just assumed the output resolution of the console didn't matter as the resolution the game ran at never changed.
This is disappointing. My friend and I both ordered recent 1440p monitors that are high FPS, and they downscale 4K.
However, there are SO many 1440p monitors that do not, so at the very least Sony should offer 4K scaled to 1440p output.
I'm fairly certain for console only more people play on 4K TVs than 1440p monitors.

This is only true of Steam players and thus reflective of PC gamers.

Someone start the petition / hashtag. This is silly.
1440p really is the sweetspot, at least for me/my setup. 4K is such an unnecessary resource hog (again, my opinion), I'd rather run at 1440p with great performance than 4K with iffy framerates.

Displaying 1080p on a monitor with a native res of 1440p when monitors are known to have shitty scalers is going to to have not very good results. It'll function, but it won't look so hot.
It's not an issue with 1080P and 4K because 4K is a 4X multiple of 1080p but is IS an issue with 1440p and the difference in terms of pixels means the image becomes blurrier.
But should it be automatically scaled? The person several posts above me says on 1080p screen it will be downsampled, should it also be the same with 1440p?
I figured since I had this problem playing the PS4 Pro on my monitor. Not that I didn't get a signal, but the image was just slightly blurry for what I expected. I then read that I was getting the downsampled 1080p image upscaled to 1440p.
I wonder if 1440p TV users (even more rare) will get a slightly better image. Don't TVs do better upscaling then monitors?

I don't think you understand. The PS4 Pro does not support 1440p signal, so it won't downsample to it regardless.
If the same is true of the PS5, then it doesn't matter if can or can't. It will either show nothing, or switch to a resolution your monitor recognizes.
I was simply saying IF they can support 1440p signal, they could always just downscale from 4K if its too much of a hassle to make all the games work in 1440p mode (aside from 1080p and 4K modes). This is better than scaling up a 1080p image without using something akin to DLSS.
the fact that the Series S is essentially billed as a 1440p machine might mean that developers put some effort into a 1440p profile in development. It would be stupid for Sony not to take advantage of that, if it materializes.
Absolutely agree, though while its being billed that way so far a lot of the games seem to run best at 1080p.
These are designed more-so for playing on TVs, after all, but myself and many others like to play on monitors.
I hope IGN Italy is wrong, and it does in-fact have 1440p output. One question is how they would be handling PS4 BC on 1440p...
Honestly, I think Sony is in the position they don't have to care. I think the XBOX Series is going to be popular but Sony has the momentum.
But the poster above you says on 1440p screen the game will send original 1080p output and than scaled/stretched to 1440p
If you are talking about playing a 4k game on a 1440p monitor, I believe it will downsample to 1080p since that's the only resolution it would recognize, and then your monitor would stretch the image to 1440p.
