I have read 1440 is a bad screen size for watching films/tv shows/streaming as it doesn't have a 1:1 scale like 4K would from 1080, only that it benefits games. Have a 980ti so I have the graphical grunt for MadVR but just wondering whether it's worth moving up screen size from a 23" 1080p monitor to a 25"/27" 1440p one. I'm presuming there are no adverse affect with MadVR too (besides being able to use less settings at the higher res)?

I happen to have a 1440p monitor (Acer XB270HU bprz) and a 980Ti.
Using madVR to watch 1080p on a 27" 1440p monitor is excellent. Image quality is
better than 1080p on a 27" 1080p monitor because at 1080p the pixels are too visible and madVR's upscaling is very good.
A 980Ti has enough power to run quite high settings even when upscaling to 1080p to 1440. (e.g. NNEDI3 64 luma doubling is easy)
