Would a 1080p monitor be better than a non 1080p monitor

I was looking around on the forum and someone had said the higher the resolution you play on, lower the settings will be, is that true

and if it is should i go for a 720p monitor

The higher the resolution you have the more of a FPS drop you will get yes, what are your specs so we can see what monitor to get.

For pc use, I'll always take the one with higher resolution. Remember, you're not just gaming. You also have to run Windows and do pc tasks.

Go 1080p. You can always scale down to 720p. You won't regret it.

With 720p you might after finding out your card is capable of much more and you're stuck at that res. I'm feeling the same right now with my 19" 1440x900 monitor.

dude scaling is implemented on console games only. When i set Crysis to 1680x1050 IT IS rendering natively at that res. it isnt being downscaled or upscaled.

[QUOTE="Blistrax"] 1080p is a television format. Games can't be said to be in 1080p. Games run at a certain resolution. But the standard resolution for 1080p is 1920X1080. If you get a monitor with that "native resolution", that is, its pixels are actually 1,920 across and 1080 down, your equipment won't have to do any extra work to display video at that resolution, what's called "scaling", which can degrade the picture and slow things down, especially if the monitor's resolution is lower than that.Blistrax
