Is there a difference in display quality between MacOS and Windows 10/11 on a 1440p 27" monitor?

Help

Does macOS display the same image as Windows 10/11 at a native resolution of 2560 x 1440 on a 27" 109 PPI monitor? The image on Windows is satisfactory to me and I have no complaints. If the image on macOS is the same or very close, I think I should be satisfied. Has anyone had a direct comparison of a 27" 1440p monitor between Windows 10/11 and macOS? I'd appreciate your opinions and observations. I realize that 4K and 5K monitors will look perfect with Retina display (scaling) enabled, but in this thread I'd like to focus on the 1440p monitor I already own.
