I wonder why we aren't seeing more focus on this particular size from manufacturers.
Windows UI and fonts are based around 96 PPI. Case in point, Microsoft just released the Surface Studio. Why did they choose to make it 28" at a 3:2 ratio, with a 4500 x 3000 resolution? Because that amounts to 192 PPI, which is precisely 200% (2x) of 96 PPI, and allows for clean scaling.
The same can be achieved with 16:9. As it turns out, 30.5" is the ideal size when it comes to scaling Windows using 4K and 5K resolutions at 16:9 aspect ratios (which the vast majority of monitors are these days). So with 4K, a 30.5" equals 144 PPI, which allows for 150% scaling (1.5x). And with 5K, 30.5" equals 192 PPI, again allowing for nice clean scaling at 200% (2x).
Food for thought.
