IGN Italy: PS5 won't support 1440p output

That's a shame for people who will use a single display for a PC and PS5, 1440p monitor is a great middle ground for high refresh rate gaming. Some 1440p monitors can accept a 4K signal, but not all.
Seems like it would be really easy to at least implement it as an OUTPUT resolution and just let it render at whatever res it normally does, but eh who knows

I don't get why Sony keeps doing this, it's not a huge thing to have support for that's going to cost a lot of money and resources. Microsoft has supported non standard resolution since Xbox days, but it isn't even about non standard resolution, just 1440P would be good and for a console that is likely to have a lot of sub 4K games it seems like a good thing to have atleast as an option.
I would've been happy playing at 1440P if it supported, now unless I get a 4K screen the console will downsample it to 1080P then the monitor will upscale it to 1440P leading to a really blurry image.

Exactly! It's just an output, internally it can do whatever it wants if they don't want to worry about more permutations of performance / resolution for all games, which would be understandable
I read that you would need a hdmi 2.1 gameing montior to get the 120 hz output. Not many of those out there right now.
What a bummer but I expected it from Sony. At least I'll be able to downsample 4K->1440p with my monitor. :/
Lame, no clue why they don't just support 1440p I know the usage rate probably isn't high but the console should easily be able to
Which was silly as shit. Pro is genuinely a 1440P console for all intent and purpose but doesn't support it. Doesn't matter if it's a fraction of people using it, if they want to they can probably support this through a software update itself.
Well my TV can output 1440p / 120fps so that would be a nice thing to have.
Is that their actual verbiage? I'll cancel my PS5 preorder right now if it is.
I don't know, how many 1440p TVs do exist?
The PS5 is conceived as a console for a connection to a TV. Supporting PC displays at middle ground resolutions would be a PC thing to do (obviously Microsoft does that) but all devs would need to support that resolution as well (user interface needs to be available at native resolution to look good etc.)

You don't know what are you talking about, this is about 1440p output signal like Xbox One do:
What does this mean? If you hook up a PS5 to a 1440p monitor is the implication:
- you only get 1080p output, upscaled by your monitor
- you get 4k output, downsampled by the PS5 to 1440p
- you will get no signel, as it literally won't work
Quelle surprise. Sony is a TV company, they don't give a shit about resolutions their TVs don't support.
If you want a console that supports PC features like 1440p and FreeSync (PS5 only supports HDMI VRR), you gotta get the console made by the PC people.
On PS4 Pro it's the former. Some 1440p monitors can accept and downscale a 4K signal, but many cannot.

If this thing is not hard and costly to implement there gotta be some kinda reasoning or such decision.
It can be stupid suborn like "its ether 4 or 1080 no in between" or some kinda issue with their chips I guess.

Verbiage of who? The comment about being an irrelevant resolution for most people came from the writer of the article, not Sony.
Meant to put Sony's. I'd be really upset if the company just said I was irrelevant
The reason is that, I'm pretty sure anyway, Sony ties rendering modes to output resolution (it's why games would have different behavior depending on if you're outputting at 1080p or 4k, whereas microsoft's machine treats it all the same). For sony to add 1440p output, they'd effectively have to use the 4k mode or the 1080p mode, and upscale/downscale from that. So you'd be in the same boat regardless. That said, this wouldn't be a problem if they supported 1440p from the start..
Microsoft's approach is significantly smarter and way more forward looking.
But hey, at least Sony lets you fucking disable/enable HDR in-game instead of digging through system menus every time you play a game that has an ass HDR implementation.

Its the middle pretty much guaranteed. No way it doesnt work.
Edit: actually itll probably be the top one.

Yeah it be 1080p on a 1440p monitor, there is some 1440p monitors where it registers as 4k on ps4 pro and just downsamples from 4k to 1440p on that. Though even then it can still be blurry.
Games can still render at 1440p, they'll just output at 1080p (downscaled) or 4k (upscaled).
This affects people with 1440p monitors who want to use that as an output. 1080p looks like garbage on a 1440p monitor and only some support downsampling from 4k to 1440p.
I don't think Sony cares much as most TV's are 1080p or 4k. Only monitors are 1440p and almost noone plays on a monitor.

I know exactly what I'm talking about, that is a joke.
