Although not a native resolution on most TVs, modern TVs can play games at 1440p (or 2560 x 1440) for extra detail over 1080p, but without the extra demand on the gaming system from 4K resolution.

Fortunately, there are many great gaming monitors available today, including those offering ultra high-refresh 1080p, zippy 1440p options, high-fidelity 4K, and a slew of ultrawide panels.
