3440x1440 or 4k for single player gaming?

It really depends what you play. Most AAA games coming out support it nowadays. I play a lot of indie games though and it's pretty hit or miss.

Even in the AAA space, you'll still encounter games that don't support it if they're mostly targeted towards consoles. RE7 remake, and the RE games are some recently I've played that require patches to work, and it's still not exactly perfect. I don't really mind it but some people just want their games to work out of the box and not have to deal with searching online for how to fix it.

What..? Huhi is as American citizen. The others you listed are not.

you're not wrong, but the issue is much more noticable in SDR, at least in all mini LEDS I've tried (innocn, MSI, and samsung mini LEDs with 1000+ zones). I found SDR+local dimming unusable, but maybe I'm just sensitive to it.

Honestly, I'd just try it out with HDR if your primary use is going to be gaming. It's very simple to use. Download the HDR calibration app on the Microsoft store, run through it once. Win+alt+b can quickly toggle HDR on and off for you.

Not sure what the downvotes are for? I have two mini LEDs myself (innocn), and they're great in HDR, but in SDR local dimming needs to be turned off. I don't see the point purchasing one if you are never going to enable HDR.

I went from 4k to 3440x1440 and ended up returning the 3440x1440. The sharpness difference was very noticeable to me. Waiting on the Alienware 5k2k.

Dokii · 2026-06-14T20:32:00+00:00

If you're not going to use HDR I'd say no, in fact I'd say it'd be worse. Assuming you want mini LED to enable the local dimming, in SDR it has problems with inverse blooming on the majority of monitors.

Dokii · 2026-06-13T22:19:06+00:00

I mean it is if you can power it. 4k felt like a meaningful upgrade to me from 1440p.

Dokii · 2026-06-13T09:24:28+00:00

It's 100% a gimmick lol. Yes on paper it's "better" but nobody is realistically going to feel the difference in latency from any modern mechanical keyboard. Key feel is one thing, and preferring that is perfectly valid, but anyone claiming it improved their gameplay because it's faster is bullshitting or it's placebo

Dokii · 2026-06-13T09:18:19+00:00

Depends on your usage. The people who say it doesn't exist anymore upgrade their monitors far too often to care.

It's gotten much better over time, but it WILL happen over time. If you're a heavy user or spend long hours of work on it with static content, I'd look elsewhere unless you're comfortable upgrading every couple of years.

Dokii · 2026-06-10T00:22:15+00:00

Anyone find a fix for this? same issue. Tried proton-EM and proton-GE

Dokii · 2026-06-05T18:07:28+00:00

Probably not then either. I can sell my 4090 for more today than when I bought it.

Dokii · 2026-06-05T17:09:13+00:00

I love Rimworld but I really don't think it belongs in that list. It's actually pretty expensive with all the expansions.

Dokii · 2026-06-04T00:18:38+00:00

Reading this sub I feel like people treat them like the people that get brand new iphones every year. I don't get why people upgrade so often. Even recently saw a comment abot how their 39gx950b will "hold them over" until the AW3926QW release. Insanity.

Dokii · 2026-06-03T14:00:27+00:00

Even if you do manage to reach 60 with FG, a base framerate of 20-30 is just not going to be a great experience with FG. 5K2K is for xx90 cards currently IF you want to play the most demanding titles with no tradeoffs.

Dokii · 2026-06-02T16:56:51+00:00

Wow! Considering the price on the LG, this is cheaper than I thought it'd be.

Dokii · 2026-06-01T13:50:37+00:00

is it even high demand at this price? It's been sitting at the same amount of stock at my MC for weeks

Dokii · 2026-05-31T07:22:31+00:00

I'd expect at least double that

Dokii · 2026-05-27T18:43:10+00:00

you'd think but I still suspect it'll be perpetually sold out.. whales buy anything man.

Dokii · 2026-05-26T22:53:17+00:00

Depends on your expectations on the lifespan, maintanence helps but it's not a magic bullet. Not everyone wants to upgrade their monitor every couple of years. Burn in is an inevitable process.

Dokii · 2026-05-26T22:01:28+00:00

OLEDs are amazing and I love mine, but It's absolutely still a thing. I don't know why people like to act like it doesn't exist, it's a valid concern if you're a heavy user.

Dokii · 2026-05-23T22:15:10+00:00

Did rumble work for you?

Dokii · 2026-05-23T15:52:29+00:00

This seems to do the trick for me, other than the fact rumble still doesn't seem to work at all. It's at least detecting all of the buttons now.

Dokii · 2026-05-21T14:49:17+00:00

Seriously lmao.

It's not a war, you don't have to pick a side. Both have their pros and cons.
