PS5 Without Support for 1440p
Monitor owners who were planning to buy the PS5 will not be happy. Sony confirmed that its latest console will not support the popular resolution.
- Among the resolutions supported by the PS5, we won't find 1440p.
- The information was confirmed by the Italian branch of IGN.
PS5 will not support 1440p resolution, as reported by the editor of the Italian IGN branch, who contacted Sony in order to confront the facts with rumors making rounds on the web.
Rumors of PS5's alleged support for non-standard TV resolutions has been circulating on the Internet for some time. Sony did not officially comment on the matter at furts, but eventually had to come clear.
The problem still affects a small group of users who planned to connect the console to monitors that natively support 1440p resolution. The owners of TV sets will not notice any difference, as the matrices of these devices jumped from 1080p straight to 4K. This also does not mean that a monitor that supports QHD resolution will not display image from PS5 at all. It will simply be upscaled from 1080p to 1440p.
By comparison, the Xbox Series X|S can easily handle resolutions from 1080p, through 1440p to native 4K in the X Series. This shows that Microsoft has taken a different path in console design than Sony.
