4K skins, do I need 4K resolution to enjoy them?

I dont have a 4K monitor.

I play in 1080p  1920x1080

 

Will I still be able to enjoy the quality of a 4K skin?

4k is only the resolution of the template, as long as you don't got anything below 720p as a monitor you will see a significant increase.

OP 4K skins have nothing to do with 4K monitors or Resolution

4K monitors talk about the screen size (3840 x 2160 pixels)

While as 4K skins are referening to the Texture quality/pixel (4096X4096)

Even a Windows XP machine running 1024x768 monitor Will benefit from it and see a different between 1K,2K,4K.

Maybe this should be sticked as many people in game have asked me this also
so many wont touch the great skins as they think they need 4K monitor

Yeah, same term but completely different things. It should be called HD skins to not confuse people.

 

The bottom line is that you dont need a 4K monitor.

 

4K textures are particularly better at drawing smaller details without looking too pixelated from upclose. E.g. rivets, small insignias and the edges of some lines that had aliasing due to low res textures.

they should rename the monitor then as 4k skins have been around a lot longer than even 1080P monitors
