The 5k monitor is a 49 inch model from MSI. The laptop is a compact model from Lenovo, a Yoga Pro something or other. Not sure what its resolution is (3k something by 2k something from what I remember), just that it’s needlessly high for its screen size, requiring UI scaling.
Depends on usecase (how far away your eyes are) and how big the display is (again, how far away). TV is far away, has ideally 50 to 60" but low dpi. Computer display is good around 30 to 40", maxes out at around 4k. Notebook 10 to 15", high dpi, 2k is good enough. While a phone has very high dpi, but 5 to 7" and around 1k res.
Everything above 1440p isn’t offering any display space. I have a 4K monitor but 150% DPI is needed to make things big enough to work with.
I’m using a 5k by 1200 monitor and it’s awesome with Kde. I suppose it would be equally great with other interfaces.
With 100% DPI?
Sure, native resolution, it’s fine.
Not so on my laptop with an insane resolution of like 2k by 3k on a 13 or 14 inch screen though.
What do you mean 2k by 3k? And 5k by 1200? 4K is a resolution of 3840 × 2160. 1440p is normally 2560 × 1440.
My 4K monitor ( 3840 × 2160) is 27 inches and with 100% DPI is not usable. Resolution is 4K only bigger UI. (150%, which is as if I had 1440p).
