I'm in the market to buy a new monitor for development and casual gaming but I'm worried about going with 4k because check this out.
3840 x 2160 vs. 1920 x 1080
Does that mean if you run a 4k monitor at 200% scaling you will end up with the same exact screen real estate as 1080p? Of course pixel density will be higher but meh.
I care about screen real estate more than super high density. That got me into thinking too, can someone with 20/20 read 4k standard text at 100% with a 27" display?
Because even if you scale it all to 125% wouldn't that be about 2880 x 1620 of screen space? The thing that kills me is you can get a good 2560 x 1440 for about $300, so 2 of those would give you a MASSIVE amount of space over a single 4k monitor @ 125% scaling.
Is my math right? I don't want to spend 500-600 bucks on a 4k monitor which has a tiny bit more real estate than a single 1440p monitor.
