anything over 1080p is a waste of resolution

For games, maybe.

But I also use my PC for work (programming). I can't afford two, and don't really need them.

At home I've got a WQHD 1440p monitor, which leaves plenty of space for code while having the solution explorer, watch window, and whatnot still open.

At work we're just given cheap refurbished 1080p crap, which is downright painful to work with and has often made me consider buying a proper monitor and bringing it to work, just to make those ~8h/day somewhat less unbearable.

So I can't go back to 1080p, and have to run my games at 1440p (and upscaling looks like shit, so no).
