Maybe not monitors, but certainly they are standard for TVs (which are now just monitors with Android TV and a tuner built in).

That doesn't really matter if people on PC don't game on it, does it?

These are the primary display resolutions from the Steam Hardware Survey.

I do wonder how much higher that would be if GPUs targeting 4K were £299 rather than £999.

Although some of it is down to monitors being on desks right in front of you and 4K not really being needed. It would also be interesting to for Valve to weight the results by hours spent gaming that month (and amount they actually spend on games), rather than just counting hardware numbers.

You're so close to the answer. Now, why are PC gamers the ones still on 1080 and 1440 when everyone else has moved on?

Have I said anything in favor of crippling lower end cards or that these high prices of the high end cards are good? My only argument was that 4K displays in the PC space being the standard was simply delusional because the stats say something wholly different.

Well, people aren’t sticking 4090s in their Samsung smart TVs, so idk that matters.
