How do you justify owning a 1080p monitor in the year 2016?

How do you justify owning a 1080p monitor in the year 2016?

Aren't you embarrassed?

2nd photo looks more organized than the 1st one too

>How do you justify owning a 1080p monitor in the year 2016?
Waiting for 5k prices to drop, don't care about 1440p and 4k
>Aren't you embarrassed?
i spent a lot of money on bullshit but by still keeping my monitor around i feel a bit frugal

They're cheap so just buy two more and bam, enjoy your ultra-ultra wide display

>having a black bezel line down the middle of your two displays
>"ultra-wide"

more like ultra-pleb if you ask me

Because nepgear is a shit

Both are laughable.

However, you gotta grant it to sportive people that they are in healthy physical health. That is a major perk in life that a lot of us will not experience.

>weeb
>asking if we're embarrassed

4k is just overpriced at the moment, and will go down in price heavily over the next 12-24 months.

>inb4 poorfag

I have plenty of money, but I am patient and frugal. I have seen people making 6 figures live paycheck to paycheck because they spend their money on the latest crap for no reason.

Still rocking a lower resolution monitor.

Works fine. Quite bitching.

neither image is ok. collecting things is mental illness.

Because most people don't need 4k monitors. I'm really glad that regular people are stupid and fell for the 4k meme, you can build a fairly decent 1080p gayman rig for almost nothing now.

I use a 1680x1050p monitor but could buy a 4k display at any time

umad?

>waiting 2 years for monitor price to drop a few hundred dollars

It's good enough for TV and hearthstone

When i get a VR hat I will spring for 4K

There's no point in getting anything higher than 1080p unless you have money to wipe your ass with.

I'm fine with 1080p

I'm in good shape mate. You can go to the gym and still watch anime and such. They are not mutually exclusive.

As for why I still have 1080p screen, it works fine. I'm considering upgrading to a 4k one once I have some more money, so I can buy a GTX 1080 or 1080ti along with the monitor.

there is no monitor worth buying for me atm.

dell, overpriced no freesync
lg, looks like shit
Samnsug, looks like shit
AOC, dont trust them for some reason

>1080p

Never had that trash, always 1200p

>there's no point to get (insert previous generation hardware/peripherals here) unless....
>.... Fine with (insert filthy poorfag hardware/peripherals here)
How many times will this phrase be repeated

absolutely fucking disgusting

Wait until most software is optimized for it. You'll save yourself both money and trouble.

i dont want a gaming monitor either. I d go with dell, if the p2715q costed as much as the p2415q.

buying 24 inch 4 k monitor seems utterly retarded. I dont even know why this product exists in first place.

You better take this back.

>I'm considering upgrading to a 4k one once I have some more money, so I can buy a GTX 1080 or 1080ti along with the monitor.

On the same boat as you.

Saving up the shekels for both a 4k monitor and a new GPU (likely a GTX1080, but go figure). The U2414H will suffice for now.

>How do you justify owning a 1080p monitor in the year 2016?
4K is still shit for gaming as most PC games today are either indie garbage that would look the same being shown on an 80's era Zenith TV or ports so bad that they can't hit 30FPS with flagship CPU and vidya cards.

With 1080p, the hardware doesn't shit itself and you can get monitors that turn 144mhz refresh rates.

>liking anything about Filthadelphia ever
>okay

Pick one.

I don't have to, I use a 720p monitor.

6880x1440 master race

women are like monitors, i like them curvy

>not using glorious 1024p

They arent 1080, its 1680x1050 and cost me $50 each.

Because poorfag life.

The answer to OP's pic is basketball players actually exist

My main monitor is 1680x1050, it gets the job done.

I'm not willing to spend more money for a 1440p monitor, 1080p is more than good enough for me.

Think you might need to reread my post again user

And people who are fans are not furiously fapping to them 24/7

I get it fine. People said the same thing about 720p and the trend will continue
1080p is now for poor niggers and pajeets

Yes they are.

>mfw my monitor is 900p

The top one is okay because sports are a healthy masculine pursuit. Sports boost testosterone levels and promote healthy competition between males which keeps you physically and mentally fit.

The bottom one is not okay because weird Japanese cartoons and shit are definitely, DEFINITELY not healthy, in any sense of the word. They're a solitary pursuit, they necessarily distract you from real life, the keep you shut away, not interacting with other people.

If you enjoy sports you should be proud of yourself. If you have ever watched Japanese cartoons in your life you should be ashamed of yourself.

Because I'm not going to throw away those 1080p screens I've bought over the years.

Higher pixel density would be nice but I don't have any desire to upgrade to 1440p since it would be way more expensive for the monitors I'm looking at (120/144hz).

Besides, there's always VSR.

1280x1024 reporting in

Why not? It's not like anything can run 4k 240hz yet.

Blanc is the only good character in that series

The human eye can't see more than two million pixels.

>sitting on your fat ass in a recliner from dawn to dusk chugging pisswater and screaming at the tv

>healthy

>mfw 1200p
16x10 master race

price/value of 1080p is much better than 1440p

I do not have to justify the value of myself by purchasing the most expensive tech. 1080p is and will be standard for the next years.

b8, r8 3/10 m8

I just toggled VSR on and it looks like shit. Everything looks smudgy.

>BUT MOoOOoOOoOMM, I NEED IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

This small mentality is why you'll never have nothing.

He'll have a good monitor.

>Giving a shit about what other people think of you
>Especially when 4k is still meme tier for all intensive purposes

s.m.h t.b.h. f.a.m.

BenQ seems fine.

My 27" 1080p 60hz packard bell that I bought in 2010 for 80 bucks still works fine lad

but i own a 1680x1050 monitor, senpai

I guarantee the owner of all that sports memorabilia doesn't actually play sports himself.

I still use a 1680x1050.
Being a poor Uni student is suffering.

Yeah, but a good monitor is not nothing, so he will never have nothing.

I just upgraded to 1080p last year. I'd still be using my 1440x900 monitor, which had better color reproduction, but it didn't have VESA mounts.

my 144hz, pwm free, 24in 1080p screen is big enough for me.

i also have a 27in 1440p imac and honestly, i find it to big. i wish i got the 21in instead.

really 16:10, 1920 x 1200 is the sweet spot. my old monitor was 1920 x 1200 and it was the perfect amount of space. just to bad they don't make 144hz 16:10 screens. well at the time i got my benq i couldn't find any.

>same price as dell
yeah, why would i bother with them then??

I don't need anything else for shitposting

I have a TV for watching media

i dont even have a 1080p monitor

i still use 1024 by 1280

still waiting for a good, 144Hz, 1440p IPS monitor

>If you have ever watched Japanese cartoons in your life you should be ashamed of yourself.
Hello rebbit!

The only thing to be ashamed of in both cases is to be engaging in such blatant consumerism instead of finding contentment in spiritual things.

...

>Justify a 1080p display in 2016
Don't have to, I'm using 1280x1024 5:3. Justification is that the monitor (HP vs17e) was free, and has decent speakers built in.
>Aren't you embarrassed?
That I'm not using 1024x768 XGA? I can fix that; I've got the HP vs15 as well.

I still use some dell 1080p monitor overclocked to 75hz, increased the life of it for me, as i was going to upgrade to a higher refresh rate monitor if this wasn't possible

>vs15
I swear the day i was given one half of Sup Forums got one too because people always post about them. Good enough monitor for the occasional non remote fucking with my file server though.

Bought one for about $10 USD, I'm actually using it since I don't have a pair of speakers to use on my test bench. It's pretty convenient.

>yfw the rabid anime hating /r/edditard got btfo

900p here. I'm not autistic, I don't give a fuck. I will probably upgrade to 4k when it's no longer a meme.

>Laptop.
>The only OS with decent scaling is Android.
There.

not even the GTX 1080 cand do 4K at 60fps yet

Intel integrated graphics can do 4k at 60fps.

>middle
>two displays
What? Two on both sides you sperglord

ATi Radeon 7500 AGP can do 4K Windows at 60FPS, so long as you're using 2000/XP and have the classic theme.

It actually can't. It doesn't have the proper output ports.

VGA displays still exist, every card I own (except the one in my PowerMac G5, and a pesky nVidia GeForce 7950GT AGP) have VGA ports. A simple adapter will do the trick, put a DVI-VGA adapter on the input of the display and plug in all the cables, then you're off!

It has SVideo and DVI as well anyways.

VGA can't output 4K shithead

I dont need anything else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

See:

what about all extensive purposes?

>ATI Radeon 7500
>Max External Resolution 2048 x 1536

>card from 2001
>AGP
>low end anyways
2K is impressive also, I guess.

I was going off of the fact that 64MB is plenty enough for 4K Windows, not the DAC type, but I do see your point.

I still have a Standard Definition monitor.

I use 1366 x 768

I can't see the pixels from my viewpoint so I don't need higher resolution unless I get a significantly bigger monitor.

I dont, i have and old 1280x1240 and still loving it

My monitor's not even 1920x1080. I'd upgrade but I'm saving up for a QSXGA monitor

HP vs17e, I've got an NEC MultiSync 1880SX, but it makes lots of racket while it's on, and the colors are messed up. It's done something like upwards of 700k hours, so I can't blame it.

Got both the HP and both NEC's for free, so can't complain.

HAHA

4K

IS AMAZING

>thinkpad

This is the most Sup Forums reaction image I've ever seen

desu, I thought 4k was a meme until I watched 4k porn (and I have "only" 3440x1440)

I don't though.
