I have no idea if this is true or not, but a friend of mine who is a big time pc online gamer said to avoid 4k when playing online. I forget the reasoning but the process to run 4k takes something away from how smooth and fast playing online would run in 1080p. It would look better obviously but he said to stick with 1080p to get the most otherwise out of your monitor. Again, don't know if thats accurate or not but that's what he recommended.
It has to do with frame rates and stability in these frame rates. The higher the resolution, the lower the frame rates will be. So for example you can play some games on the PS4 Pro on 4K, which will run at 30 FPS. If you play on 1080p, the frame rate will be 60 FPS. That's double the amount of frames per second and leads to a smoother experience. That's most important for competitive gaming.
Yeah that makes sense, thanks. Made sense when he explained it to me too I just don't know a ton about that kind of stuff and forgot exactly the reasoning behind it.
