The representative could not, however, tell us exactly why that was the case. A representative said that the panel used in the laptop didn’t officially support 1440p due to hardware limitations. We also reached out to EVGA regarding its SC17 1080 laptop, which didn’t list a 1440p resolution, although its 4K screen was clearly quite capable of supporting it. “The company’s goal is to simply provide the best UHD display possible for its users.” “It’s worth noting that pro applications from HP’s software vendors have been optimized for FHD and are now transitioning to UHD (3840 × 2160 or 4K),” a representative said at the time. The panel may support 1440p, but you’re blocked from using it. That means Windows 10 does not see the setting in the display’s Extended Display Identification Data. In other words, although we discovered that the panel did, in fact, support 1440p, HP merely wanted to shorten the resolution list you see in Windows 10.įor example, if you right-click on the desktop, select Display Settings on the list, and scroll down to expand the Display Resolution list, you may not see a 1440p option. When we asked HP about the lack of a 1440p resolution in its ZBook Studio G4 mobile workstation, a representative said the company wanted to simplify the built-in screen’s Extended Display Identification Data. However, not all laptops even offer a 1440p setting.

It sits above 1080p (Full HD or 1920 x 1080), providing excellent graphical fidelity without taxing systems that can’t ideally handle 4K. Fitbit Versa 3īefore 4K became the target resolution for all home entertainment, 1440p (WQHD, or 2560 × 1440) was a great sweet spot.
