You're gonna be playing at 1080p, 60at best. This happened to me with the PS4 Pro.
It was a joke based on the xbox one originally needing to be always online. Don Mattrick said if you can't get online we have a console for that, the 360. Its not a hot take
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.
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 themWhat's this got to do with it? A console which will be played on many different brands of TV and monitors should support a massively popular gaming resolution, don't you think?
Either way it won't look good.What does decide whether your monitor can downscale a 4K signal, and is it even possible to read it from the specs? I don't recall rtings mentioning stuff like that in reviews, but maybe I just wasn't looking for it.
We have a console for those who want to play at 1440p, it's called PS4 Pro
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 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.It's going to be frustrating if some games on a Series S run at higher resolution than PS5 on a 1440p display. There's no reason to build in this shortcoming.
irrelevant?
SOOOO MANY people on this board hype that they play in 1440p.
more people play in 1440 than 4k.
i pray for yall.
Weird seeing people dismiss 1440p as niche when the console also supports 120fps which is supported by a small fraction of the TV market. Options are never bad and just cause you think is irrelevant it doesn't mean people shouldn't have access to it.
It'll run but you'll have a 1080p image stretched out to 1440p unless your monitor supports having 4k stretched down to 1440p.So what exactly does not supporting 1440p means? If I hook up a ps5 to a 1440p monitor it won't run?

So if i have 1080 screen, and i play the game with 4k 30fps. It will stay 1080p image, or 4k downsampled to 1080p?It'll run but you'll have a 1080p image stretched out to 1440p unless your monitor supports having 4k stretched down to 1440p.

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

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.

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 don't think you understand. The PS4 Pro does not support 1440p signal, so it won't downsample to it regardless.But should it be automatically scaled? The person above me says on 1080p screen it will be downsampled, should it also be the same with 1440p?
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.I don't think you understand. The PS4 Pro does not support 1440p signal, so it won't scale 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 1440p if its too much of a hassle to make all the games work in 1440p mode (aside from 1080p and 4K modes).
Absolutely agree, though while its being billed that way so far a lot of the games seem to run best at 1080p.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.

Steam hardware survey? This is a console not a PCMore popular than 4k according to Steam hardware Survey.
It's weird that people are trying to brush this off as a non issue when it is very much an issue, and has been since the Pro released.
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.But the poster above you says on 1440p screen the game will send original 1080p output and than scaled/stretched to 1440p
