Probably means it accepts a 4K input and then scales it down to the panel's native resolution or something like that.

AKA snake oil.

Maybe counting subpixels instead?

It can show 4K content, just not at 4K resolution. Like every other monitor.

That's funny, since most people take 4k and scale it UP.

No they don't.
8K doesn't exist apart from IMAX and the Panasonic tech demo at the 2012 Olympics.

I suppose I said that wrong. I mean, they take 4k and use DPI scaling to make things larger - effectively reducing the work space, rather than increasing it.
