1440p vs 4K
4K UHD doubles 1080p in each axis. 1440p offers a strong middle ground between sharpness and frame rate.
1440p — QHD
2560 × 1440 px
Aspect 16:9 · 3.69 MP
4K — UHD

Pixel count comparison
4K packs 2.25× more pixels per frame than 1440p, meaning more detail and sharper text at the same screen size — but also more GPU load.
Which should you choose?
Pick 4K for 32"+ displays, video editing, photo work, and HDR content. Pick 1440p when you want high refresh rates without a top-tier GPU.
