If you go to the store to buy any device with a display, from a smartphone to a TV, you will encounter some rather confusing terms and letter abbreviations that you should be able to decipher in your head in order to understand exactly what kind of resolution screen you are dealing with. No matter what kind of activity you are buying a monitor or TV for. Resolution plays one of the key roles in displaying a quality picture on your device.
So, if you have decided on a monitor model with QHD resolution, then you should definitely know the technical characteristics of this resolution, and what QHD means in general. Here is about QHD resolution.
What does resolution mean
In addition, to monitor panel type, screen size, refresh rate, etc., monitor resolution is usually one of the first characteristics considered when purchasing a new monitor. Monitor resolution describes the visual dimensions of any display. Expressed in terms of width and height, monitor resolution is made up of a certain number of pixels.
In the case of a Full HD 1080p monitor, which is still the industry standard, that monitor has a resolution of 1920×1080. This means that the screen will be 1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels high. This results in a total of 2,073,600 pixels on the screen. The higher the resolution of your monitor, the more detailed the image can be because a higher resolution monitor will consist of more pixels than a lower resolution monitor. This, of course, will depend on the resolution of the content you are viewing. Also, a higher resolution computer screen may hold more of the content you are viewing than a lower resolution screen.
What is QHD resolution
Full HD screen resolution didn’t stay for long, the next step was Quad High Definition or QHD – 2560 by 1920 pixels. This is the standard for many flagship phones right now. It is noteworthy that the name Quad was applied for a reason – in one QHD fits four displays of 1280 x 720 pixels. Many phones are still using Full HD. It is very difficult to find a difference in image quality on a 5 or 6-inch display. But the presence of Full HD looks attractive in the specifications even now. That’s why many phone manufacturers are going for it.
The same technical specifications are inherent in WQHD or Widescreen Quad High Definition, but in this case still emphasizes the aspect ratio 16:9, which guarantees high image quality. But in fact, the specification of WQHD and QHD is the same.
Next is 2K. This term is applied rather haphazardly in the industry. But technically it can refer to any display larger than 2000 pixels (2048 x 1080 for example). That said, WQHD and QHD are often referred to as 2K because they are half the height and width of 4K.
QHD resolution for gaming
For many gamers, QHD is the best resolution for gaming in 2021. That’s because it plays the role of a kind of golden mean between FHD and UHD, offering the best of both worlds.
QHD looks better than 1080p and yet can offer high frame rates that simply can’t be achieved with 2160p. So it’s a good way to balance visuals and performance, and possibly price as well. Mid-range graphics cards such as the AMD RX 580 and 590 or the Nvidia GTX 1060 and 1660 Ti perform very well at 1440p, and even some weaker models can do well at this resolution, albeit at lower frame rates. Newer versions of graphics cards can not even be accentuated, as they are doing just fine.
