How to Choose the Right Resolution

Selecting the appropriate resolution depends on your specific needs and hardware capabilities.

Everyday Use

FHD (1920×1080) is ideal for casual users who browse the web, stream shows, or do light gaming.

Professional Use

QHD (2560×1440) or UHD (3840×2160) are best for graphic design, video editing, and photography. Ultrawide formats like WQHD or WFHD improve multitasking and productivity.

Gaming

QHD provides a sweet spot for performance and quality. UHD (4K) is for those with high-performance GPUs and who want stunning visuals.

Cutting-Edge Tech

8K is future-proof but mostly relevant for professionals in filmmaking or those with enormous TVs and viewing distances.
