Whether you are a gamer, a creative professional, or a data analyst, choosing the ideal monitor should be based on the features that meet your specific needs and preferences, but one feature in particular should come before all the others: resolution.

Therefore, let’s begin by briefly explaining what this means: screen resolution refers to the number of pixels the screen can display horizontally and vertically. It is written in the form of 1920 x 1,080. Higher numbers mean better picture quality. When working, viewing video, and especially playing video games, the resolution will have a major impact on the experience.

What is WQHD resolution?

WQHD resolution, meaning Wide Quad High Definition, is an image resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, two times superior to Full HD Monitors. QHD and WQHD monitors have the same resolution; the ‘W’ at the beginning stands for ‘wide’ and indicates a wider aspect ratio when compared to traditional 16:9 displays. This table can help you differentiate between monitor resolutions.

WQHD vs. FHD

Why choose WQHD resolution?

WQHD resolution allows you to see widescreen content at a 16:9 aspect ratio without stretching images or making black borders appear at the top or bottom of the content. This allows you to see more content on the screen at the same time, in sharper detail, which is great for gaming and digital creators thanks to the superior visual quality.

Is WQHD better than QHD?

As mentioned, they have the same resolution, so if you’re unsure which one offers the highest visual quality, know that you can trust both equally. Their resolution is ideal for work, entertainment, and playing your favorite games. Looking for some product recommendations? Look no further.

Is WQHD better than 4K?

No, it is not. As explained above, a higher pixel count means greater picture quality. However, other considerations need to be made as well: WQHD delivers excellent picture quality and is perfect for multitasking or viewing a range of information simultaneously while keeping monitor costs, hardware, and power requirements lower than those of 4K.
