Most of the 4K monitors have resolution settings to keep the user comfortable during work and entertainment. You can adjust the display resolution from 4K to 1080p, by clicking on DisplaySettings.
Certain games also offer resolution settings every time at the start, so you’ll have a comfortable screen view while playing the game. But it would be better if you run 1080p on the 1080 monitor and 4K resolution on the 4K monitor. Because otherwise the display and game quality will suffer badly and don’t look that perfect.
It’s heavily influenced by several factors such as quality of video and up-scaling. Usually, 1080p doesn’t look bad on a 4K monitor, even it looks better. The quality of the monitor also decides the display quality, few 4K monitors aren’t capable enough to handle 1080p. But in most 4K monitors, you can quickly change the display resolution and enjoy games and videos at your desired display quality.
Running lower resolution on 4K monitor increases the PC resources eventually, that’s why people play games with lower resolution. You can successfully run the lower resolution on 4K monitors with some necessary changes to the Display Settings.
It’s recommended for the owners of the 4K monitor to set the lower resolution to 1080p while playing games. For working on documents, readjust the resolution to 4K to get safe visibility.
What happens if you play a 1080p video on a 4K screen?
You can play 1080 resolution on the 4K but the 1080p monitor can’t support the content in 4K resolution. Doesn’t matter if you play the videos or games at 4K High-Quality on the 1080 monitor, it’ll automatically be backed to its maximum screen resolution. It would also cause harm to the monitor.
