PlayStation 5 1440p Support Tested! Good For PC Monitors, Better 120Hz For HDMI 2.0 TVs?

New beta firmware is available for PlayStation 5 that adds support for 1440p-compatible monitors and – potentially – HDMI 2.0 televisions. So how does the new functionality work, do 1440p games render natively on 1440p screens, and how could Sony improve on this beta release? Rich takes a look. This video is mastered at 4K resolution and best viewed on a 4K screen. 1440p captures from PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are displayed with a 1:1 pixel map within the 4K project.

Bonus Drinking Game: Take a shot whenever Rich says ‘1440p’.
