Why? Is there a reason to not include it? Glad I returned my 1440p monitor and ended up picking up x900H instead.

your 1440p monitor will probably work fine downscalling the 4k image, I use cheap 1024x600 panels for some electronic projects using raspberry pi that take 1080p signals and scale them to the panel without problem I even tested my PS4 with it in fact they mention the image is 1080p

Good monitors will. But some monitors just don't show anything if the signal resolution isn't one of the supported resolutions. Sometimes the hardware falls back to a lower output resolution, too. I wonder if the PS5 drops to 1080p when you connect a 1440p display?
 
People shrugging this off don't realise many of the performance pc monitors target this resolution with very high refresh rates...they are also very affordable

last gen xbox and the new Xbox's support this

As a ps5 it means extra cost
 
Sony are straight up fucking CLOWNS! WTF

What's the actual benefit of not supporting 1440p natively?? It costs them nothing to add it!

What the fuck is dynamic resolution then if it can't support 1440p? Old BC games straight drop to 1080p from 4k to maintain 60fps?

Just tried 4K input on my 1440p PC monitor through NVIDIA DSR (2.25 scale), hardware scaling disabled.
It looks acceptable/meh/okay with 50% "smoothing". It's worse than native for sure. Interesting how it will interpolate native 4K signal from PS5.
Forgot that monitors are not TV in terms of scaling.

LG C's support it but I don't think you can activate it on the tv. Needs to be done though whatever is outputting the signal

Speculation based on observation. I'm sure some will be eager to turn this into the next battle ground... where somehow a never heard of before huge amount of people play consoles on their 1440p monitors with no support for 4K signal LMAO

In other words: concern trolling.
 
Where were all the 1440p monitor warriors when the PS4 Pro was released? Why is this suddenly a thing now?

BenQ: Ps5 will support 1440p monitors

https://www.benq.com/en-us/knowledge-center/knowledge/ps5-gaming-monitor.html While there’s a lot of talk of 120Hz with regard to the new consoles and late 2020 graphics cards, let’s be realistic. Most of it doesn’t apply to 4K, but more to 1080p or 1440p. It’ll be another generation before...

Standard practice for Playstation, support for TV standards only. Keeps the messaging simple and mass-market friendly.

Dynamic resolution just has nothing to do with your display. The system itself determines the output resolution; dynamic resolution is the internal resolution the game renders the images at, which then get output at the resolution the system is set to.

This news is that PS5 has no ability to output a 1440p signal. Games might render at 1440p but the system can only output that as a 4k signal.

It would affect c9 and up users too. If you want pure signal and no scaling. Not just monitors.
 
Wait, so if you have a 1440p monitor the PS5 is essentially a Series S with multiplatform games? Sony needs to fix this or that's pretty funny for all the fanboys dissing on the S.
 
Thank god that Xbox isn't this stingy when it comes to supporting the little things. I'm getting a 1440p@144hz monitor and it's nice to know one will support it.
 
So same situation as 4k PS4Pro? Everyone get ready for every game getting a thread for Super Sampling or the lack of Super Sampling soon.

Ps4 pro was not running refresh rates above 60hz....x1x this only benifited a few games with vsnyc off options such as r6 siege where you could get up to 90fps in 1440p

Many pc gamers play in 1440p as you get maximum FPS without the trade offs of trying to hit 4K
 
So upscale to 4k on console
Downscale to 1440p on monitor and pray it knows what its doing.

Or

Upscale to 4K on console
Downscale to 1080p on console
Upscale to 1440p on monitor and pray it knows what its doing.

Or

Downscale to 1080p on console
Upscale to 1440p on monitor and pray it knows what its doing.



Couldnt they simply add this as a software update....i know 1440p isnt popular for TV, but im pretty sure 1440p144 is the fastest growing resolution for monitors right now.

And yes I game on a monitor both console and PC, hell I even use my Monitor to watch "TV".

By that logic if you only have a 1080p TV a PS5 is essentially a PS3... /facepalm

Nope. Ps3 doesn't play next gen games. Ps3 doesn't have the improved graphics. Graphics do not equal resolution, resolution just helps and it is dependant on screen size. Any way you look at it, this is dumb and Sony should change it. We are enthusiasts, 1440p applies to many gamers on here. All of a sudden we care more about the casuals around here? People defending it cause most have 1080p or 4k. Eh

So why are you comparing Series S to PS5, a system with double the GPU power, more ram, more bus bandwidth, and plays a bunch of exclusive titles not available elsewhere? There's no way all else being equal that Series S can perform as well as PS5. The gap is bigger than between a stock Xbox One and a PS4 Pro.

It ain't happening, outside of shoddy porting.
 
So glad I bought my 1st 4K TV months ago (LG CX 48 inch).

I didn't even bother to finish any of my PS4 Pro exclusives because i refused to play it at 1080p on my 1440p monitors. Bought a 4K, and was absolutely mind blown by the 4K, HDR gameplay. Horizon Zero Dawn made my jaw dropped and felt like I was playing on PC with it's visuals.

Just get a 4K TV at this point. Sony doesn't wanna even bother to the small 1440p owners. So funny that this is happening again... meanwhile Xbox One S has 1440p option.. LOL.. XBOX ONE S! Not just the X! The One S...

It shouldn't be comparable but if you're playing in 1080p, what's the difference in multiplatform games? Just saying it sucks that people with 1440p monitors have to buy another monitor or a TV to take advantage of the system. I'm getting a
PS5 and I know I'd be pissed if I had pulled the trigger on the monitor I was looking at.

Then what would the noticeable difference between Valhalla on the S and PS5 on a 1440p monitor if PS5 won't display the game in 1440p? If I'm wrong, good. I'd rather if PS5 could upscale to 1440p.

They could add it in a patch later down the line if there is enough call for it, but its not a feature at launch.

PS5 non supporterà la risoluzione 1440p, è ufficiale

Brutte notizie in arrivo per la nuova ammiraglia di Sony.
it.ign.com it.ign.com

Translation:

"The arrival of PS5 is getting closer and closer and, of course, there is a lot of new information around the car, good or bad as it is.

In this case, unfortunately, we are forced to report news that will not exactly please many buyers of the new Sony flagship, in particular those in possession of a gaming monitor, perhaps even a nice recent and performing one. According to the latest information, confirmed directly by Sony to our editorial team during the day today, PS5 will not support the native resolution at 1440p, a resolution that is certainly "irrelevant" for most players, but very "dear" to PC gamers.

This news almost comes to dampen the enthusiasm generated by the latest information on the console, including the most recent one relating to full support (complete with integrated cable) for HDMI 2.1 and 120Hz, which we have already talked about extensively in the past few hours. .

In short, not exactly good news for an important slice of the public. What do you think of it? Let us know in the comments!

I call bullshit
 
Disappointing but not at all surprising, most likely the PS5 is a continuation of the way the PS4 Pro handled things, which was frankly inferior to Xbox at scaling as it kept internal game resolution and user selected video output resolution completely separate (PS4 Pro didn't so changing video output resolution affected games).

It's also possible the PS5 only supports 120hz and HDMI-VRR on HDMI 2.1 displays, nothing else.

No 120hz or Freesync on PC HDMI 2.0 monitors, that would greatly limit the pool of usable displays.

Anyone who jumped the gun and bought a PC gaming monitor for use with Ps5 may be seriously disappointed, stuck with 1080p 60hz on a 1440p 144Hz display.

Its not an ideal fit, but the objective reality is that should you find yourself now or in the future playing on a 4K or higher display the benefits will be there.

Get a Series X instead if image quality on a 1440p display is the most important thing for you.

My first post in here was that I dodged a bullet and bought a CX. I'm getting both consoles. I'm good now, just sucks for 1440p bros. Personal friend has one and pre-ordered both consoles. Oh well.
 
If the PS5 was the fastest console ever or something I almost wouldn't care about this

but PS4 PRO/PS5 is at a sweet spot for 1440p and to not support it at all is dumb

Almost as dumb as having PS3 play all PSX games but only in 480i

With firmware 1.8 PS3 upscaled DVDs, PS1 and PS2 games to HD resolutions. I'm thinking 1440p support will be patched in to PS5 if it's not currently there.
