Sorry for asking this here but I basically bought a PS4 for RDR2 so thought I'd try here first.
I plan to get a 4k HDR TV soonish but not soon enough for game release so I wanted to know how RDR2 will play on a 1440p monitor? I heard it will be either 1440p or 1800p but not sure?

No 1440p monitor support on the pro sadly. You’ll be playing at supersampled 1080p. Will look good still
Ah thanks. So supersampled 1080p should still be better than playing on a 1080p TV? If you ignore screen size that is
I've tried using a 1440p with the PS4 pro before. It's not as clear as playing on a 1080p, since I think the supersample output from 4K only goes to 1080p. Google definitely shows some old posts about using a 1440p though.
Yeah I'll just stick to my 1080p TV until I get the new one. Just wondering if it'll be worth trying my monitor. Thanks
Of course man. It’s rendering at the resolution, let’s just say the game runs at 1440p which it doesn’t but oh well.. the PS4 pro will render the game like this and then scale it down, making 1080p look super sharp as there’s a bigger pixel density. Honestly I prefer a 4K output but you won’t be disappointed and it’s a upgrade over 1080p!
Xbox one x on the other hand natively supports 1440p. Odd PS4 doesn’t since most of its first party titles like uncharted 4 and Spider-Man are 1440p~
It would be the same as playing on a 1080p tv, but it would be better than not supersampling. I guess it would be slightly better since your monitor would be upscaling it. Also some 1440 monitors support a 4k signal.

Yea quick Q, how’s it look on a potato? Anybody know?
Not great but playable dw you'll be fine
It will play fine on any system, on any TV.
Can’t wait to play this on my Dreamcast using my parents’ vintage TV from the 50s
I’m not quite ready to upgrade to a 4K TV. Currently using a crystal ball. Will my setup work? Please answer.
I know it will play, I'm just wondering what the pro does with the game when playing on a 1440p monitor and not a 4K TV
It will upscale and use super sampling to make it look much much better, even though it’s not 4K. So yes it will look better
It's not really that simple. It can't do 1440p, but their monitor may be able to accept the 4k signal and downscale it to 1440p
