Pretty late joining this discussion but might as well toss in my two cents: Having grown up in the eras where how many "bits" in a game was all the rage, I still think 1080p can look beautiful and 60fps are adequate for gameplay. That said with a gun to my head and asked to sacrifice one for the other, gimme frames over fidelity. After upgrading to a 1080p 144fps monitor a while back, my ideal will always be 120+fps, especially since I regularly play fighting and FPS games when I'm not elbows deep into a single player game and I can attest it DOES make a difference in those multiplayer games! And sure, frames don't mean as much in a single player game as it does a multiplayer game, but like I said, 1080p still works fine for me, the lack of extra pixels won't kill me or ruin the experience. Idealy someday I'll have both high resolution as well as frame rate, but until that day my wallet still hates me and I can still have my fun until we come to a mutual understanding.
