lazynoobletLatest Steam hardware survey, resolution results seem off?
OsrsNeedsF2PThe results are perpetually botched

Top left: multi monitor resolution These numbers exclude single monitor setups.
ChaisI run 3840x1080. Two 1080p screens next to each other. Seems hard to believe that no one runs a single 1080p display, but maybe that’s the case?

These numbers exclude single monitor setups.
Well that’ll explain it 😁
marsara9OP is showing the multi monitor setup. (i.e. users like yourself that have two or more monitors). There’s a separate tab that shows single monitors. That one does have 1920x1080.
Die4EverPrimary Display Resolution: 1920x1080 60.75% -0.72%
Multi-Monitor Desktop Resolution: 3840x1080 60.70% -0.36%
maybe the “Multi-Monitor Desktop Resolution” is excluding single monitor setups, so it would make sense that there is no 1920x1080 in there, I don’t see any common single monitor resolutions in there so they’re definitely excluding single monitor setups from that list, which is good
I think they are mixing up single monitor and multi monitor setups
Primary Display Resolution 1920 x 1080 60.75%
Multi-Monitor Desktop Resolution 3840 x 1080 60.70%
It literally says multi monitor in the top left, there’s no single monitor setups here.
Bingo, so it does. I missed that, thanks.
1920x1080 is the most popular, as I expected.
I’m surprised 4K monitor adoption is still under 4%, less than 1366x768 laptop resolution. I guess I was blinded by graphics card marketing, most can’t really afford to shell out for 4K yet.
It’s not that most people can’t pay for it, sure, a lot can’t. It’s also just that 4k doesn’t really make sense for gaming over 1440p on a 27inch screen.
I mean it definitelyooks sharper even at that size but for the cost to performance hit it’s not currently worth it over 1440 for sure. Maybe in another 5-10 years 4k will be more worth it.
It looks sharper when you’re staring at edges, it’s not really all that noticeable when playing a game and looking around at all. 4k will probably go mainstream, but not because it makes sense, more as a “fuck it why not”.
I have a 27" 2160p and 27" 1440p monitor side by side to each other and 4k looks much sharper all the time, let’s not be dishonest here.
1440p is still the way to go
Side to side yeah lmao. But with a normal ips monitor, with normal pixel response times, regular 120hz, you’ll barely notice it if you’re not actively looking for it or trying to compare. It’s not that complicated of a concept
That’s your opinion and it’s wrong but ok. This is like arguing about 30 vs 60 fps with a console pleb in 2011.
Hahaha, you’re comparing me with a console pleb. Buddy, I’ve been a gamer all my life, I’m an expert IT systems and devices. The difference between 1440p and 4k within a game is negligible.
Lol okay grandpa let’s get you to bed.
Damn bro guess you’ll just have to take away my degree and certificates
You should get your eyes checked for real.
The 60/20 of two 1080p and two 1440p seems right, but how is there another 50% of “other”?
Probably can’t resolve monitors with distinct resolutions into one large one. How would a 2160p and a 1440p setup be displayed in this list?
That makes sense, but if 50% of setups are that way, shouldn’t the rest also only add up to 50%? There’s around 150% listed here
JohnEdwaProbably based on what the actual monitor resolutions are and not just the raw multi monitor result as you can create an almost endless variation of those when you start matching the resolution position based on the physical location of the monitors.
E.g in a setup like this even if both would be 1920x1080, you'd end up with something random like 3840 x 1428.
