It's annoying that most manufactures are only giving you 1080p or 4k options. WHY NOT SOMETHING IN BETWEEN! Apple has the right approach IMO, 2880-by-1800 15",

Apple has the right approach IMO, 2880-by-1800 15", 2560-by-1600 13". ~48 - 67% more than 1080p.
- seanp2k2 10y agoWindows and Linux have issues with HiDPI when scaling is not just 2x. 1080p is conveniently ~1/4 of 4K, so 2X scaling for H and W makes it look normal. Also, panel manufacturers want to pitch 4K, not 2.5k or whatever would make sense. It's the same reason we have 16:9 instead of 16:10 which many people (including me) liked much more: panel manufacturers and companies selling these to consumers care more about marketing (and selling) than how good they are to use. 100% srgb coverage is easier to sell than e.g. Backlight uniformity or low backlight bleed.
