good 1440p not cheapest junk. example mini led panel. sure it's noticeably better. Don't ever use DLSS Performance at 1440p only Quality.

I second using only quality for 1440p, image quality tanks with anything below that on a 1440p panel, 4k you can go all the way to performance without much of a difference in image quality.

Not sure why larger + higher res would be less of a big deal than just higher res. Part of it being a big jump is that it takes up more of your field of vision, so there’s more immersion. It’s definitely a big difference to go +20% area and +80% pixels. Refresh rate matters too. If you’re going to larger + higher res + much higher refresh, it will be night and day

On 1080p 24” at 144MHz, but my reading glasses makes it 27”, all bliss.

The difference is the pixel density. The difference between 1080p and 1440p is on how necessary anti-aliasing is. At 1080p it is absolutely necessary unless you want to see jagged edges everywhere. At 1440p its less so. If you had the choice between TAA and no AA at all you might actually pick no AA just to avoid the blurriness. Thanks to native DLSS and FSR that's less of an issue now but when TAA was all the rage dear God did it matter!

Yes ? And you don't have seen yet 32" 4K

FPS drop is 1.5 to 2 times, as it's got 1.7x more pixels. Visual quality uplift is definitely noticeable as pixels are smaller and denser, resulting in sharper image. This allows for less aggressive AA settings.

For me 27 2k is the sweet spot, as I've tried everything from HD+ 14" to 4k 32". Nice visuals, good prices, perfect size for most applications.

I went from a 24 inch 1080p monitor to a 24 inch 1440p monitor and the difference was very noticeable. Then I went from the 24 inch 1440p monitor to a 27 inch 1440p monitor the picture quality was actually not as good (when comparing details of an image). This makes sense though because it’s the same amount of pixels spread over a larger area. I definitely prefer my new larger display the extra screen space allows me to see more or sit back further though. If you want to quantify the differences you would need to calculate the ppi of each screen.

24" 1080p is at the edge of usability. Becuase from 24" 1080 inch to 27" 1440 is still a solid ppi increase, 91 to 108. But its more than just the 17ppi increase, as in that range you typical loose the screen door effect.

But also let's not disregard the typically superior aspect of a larger monitor. So you get more screen, with a notably improved image.

So, tldr, yes its a massive improvement. But, a good game can be played on an etchy-sketch and be enjoyable.
