What resolution is your PC gaming monitor?

Had a 1080 TN panel and a 4k VA monitor - but sometimes gaming on the LG C9 tv now. 1080p is just a vaseline smeared mess to my eyes these days.
I have an old 25" 1440p monitor, but my PC is pretty much a Plex server now, and it's crap anyway by todays standards of 4k TV and 1080p+ phones. Monitor industry is absolute trash in comparison to TV's/phones. You can get 2 high quality 4K TVs for the price of one, awful high end gaming monitor almost certainly riddled with lightbleed, glow or other QA issues.
Maybe in 2010, or maybe purely for PC games these days it's an ugly old resolution for anything above tablet size.
4K @ 120hz. Along with gsync and HDR.
I have the same specs as you, except a 2080ti. Don't waste that rig on 1080p.
1440p 144 hz. It's glorious. I don't see the worth in 4K at the moment. I'd rather have refresh rate than pixels.
My desktop is connected to a 1080p monitor and a 4K TV. I mostly use the TV for gaming, with an Xbox controller.
But some things, like AoE, I play on the monitor when I need to use a mouse.

This... You're missing out, OP.
4K or even 1440p over 120hz will blow you away. You'll have a hard time ever going back.
Just recently joined the ultrawide club!
35" 3440x1440 144Hz GSYNC HDR1000 VA
Had to sacrifice a substantial number of frames in most games, but the greater aspect ratio was worth it. Forza Horizon 4 in particular is just a treat to play at 21:9.

27 inch 1440p 144hz IPS Freesync is my main monitor for my PC, have it flanked by two 24 inch 1080p 60hz, one of which is super old and dark. I should probably recycle it or something.
55 inch 4k 60hz LED for my consoles
I'll upgrade in a few years but for now I have no reason to as this is pretty great

I know I def don't want to. I may end up lugging it down the steps until I feel like I can afford a new monitor
Same here. Pretty sure i'll stay that way for awhile.
Prefer to blow the doors off 1440p with high framerates than be iffy with demanding games at 4K.
The ASUS PG279Q (or QZ) is pretty much the ideal 1440p/144-165Hz IPS panel with GSYNC. No glaring flaws or features omitted. It's pricey, but you get what you pay for.
Thanks. That one is also on the short list, but multiple reviews mentioned the gamma response is too dark even after calibration, a problem I had with an older monitor and absolutely don't wanna experience again.
1080p, 144hz. Gettin' kinda old tbh, probably going to upgrade to something 1440p with G/Freesync at some point in the next year.
My monitor is 1440p 144hz gsync, but my PC is also hooked up to my home theater where I have a 65" 4k OLED. I play on the TV most of the time.
3440x1440 21:9 ultrawide with 100hz refresh and gsync. It's beautiful, even for 16:9 console games with letterboxing.
Had 1080p60hz since I built my PC in early 2016, hoping to upgrade to 1440p 120fps+ one sometime. I do quite a bit of PC gaming on 4k TV, depending on the game. Got a GTX 1070 so obviously I'm not hitting native 4k on new titles, if I can't at least hit 1440p easily I move game to the monitor.
For now, I was ecstatic to discover I can overclock my monitor to 74hz thanks to this thread :D
