hey guys'n gals I recently found out how much displays have changed and Im looking for some advice on what monitor to buy. I have been playing on a old 2010 samsung 720p 32in TV for the last 6.75 years and figured its time for an upgrade, I am looking to downsize to a 27 or 28 in since im only sitting 1-3ft away from the screen. My PC is a home built intel 4790k with a gtx970 gpu so an upgrade to at least 1080 is warranted. However after doing a bit of research it seems my GPU can play a few games on 1440 with no problems and if I eventually upgrade my gpu I could potentially be playing games in 4k which makes buying a 1080 monitor seem silly. How bad is the scaling if I was to buy a 4k monitor and run it in 1080 and occasionally in 1440? Just wondering if it was worth it. Also is going from 720 to 1080 going to make a big difference seeing as how im sitting so close? FYI I would like to keep costs below $400. Any help would be appreciated.
