1920x1200
I'd like to switch to a higher resolution soon, but can't find anything in 16/10 and don't want to switch to 16/9

I just game at my native resolution. Which currently is 2560x1440. I think it looks like *** when the monitor isn't at it's native res. If I had a 1080p monitor, I'd be gaming at 1080p and probably wouldn't notice or care if 1440p is better. Heck, I'd be fine with 720p/768p.

I can confirm that GTX 1080 isn't overkill for 1080p gaming.Upgraded gpu 2 months ago from HD7950 3GB to this one.Only thing i changed is settings to ultra,and that's all. Specs are: i7;16GB ddr3;1TB SSD and lovely GTX 1080 G1.Oh and most important thing is Asus 144Hz monitor vg248qe.

I don't play games on my computer very often, but I always go for the highest resolution available: 1920 X 1080 in my case. If I could go 3840 × 2160, I totally would!

After Daniel's review of it I bought a Razer Blade Pro for my "play anywhere" gaming needs... and I usually use 4K. I play Forza Horizon, Killer instinct, and Mass Effect Andromeda more than anything else. This was my first gaming PC so I can't really compare it to others of its type but it makes my 1080 TV/Xbox One combo look ancient.

its quite a complex problem, I have two 8" tablets one 1280x800 the other 1920x1200 and the difference is very noticeable, the old tablet looks pixelated without getting that close to it, but I have no problem with a 720p 110" screen other than little desk space, and somehow it looks fine at 1080p with 150% scaling

1920x1080. I have three monitors at that resolution but only play on one at a time. I want Windows Mixed Reality though, but my GTX 760 is only MR Ready not MR Ultra so hoping I'll get SteamVR support.

1920x1080, but would love to try 4K. Space games like No Man's Sky, Starpoint Gemini Warlords and Elite Dangerous look beautiful already, but in 4K it would be... err... stellar.

I have a gaming laptop with an 1080p monitor, but I usually play with 1366x768. 1080p just takes too much horsepower for my computer.

I have a Samsung 49" KS8000 4k TV and I use a GTX 1070.

The 1070 can occasionally run a game at native 4k but newer games I have to stick to 1440p otherwise performance is affected.

Was gaming on 16:9 1080p monitor. Just upgraded to 21:9 ultrawide 2560x1080p. Though my card is struggling to maintain constant FPS i.e. Fury X. I might be upgrading that sometime.

Usually 1440p on my regular monitor. Am currently testing out a 27-inch ViewSonic 4K display that my PC can't quite keep up to for most games I like to play. At least if I'd like more than 30 fps.

4k now has everything. People used to complain about the low fps on 4k, but now they have 4k 144hz monitors. 4k also has HDR and it is mindblowing. If you want the absolute best you need (roms world) more then just resolution, you need good refresh rates and a low latency.
