I want "No scaling" So I can have up to 4 1080p windows, or even more all visible at once. If I scale it to 1440p, then I lose that real estate. The problem is that at screen sizes less than 30" it's basically impossible to read text at 4k. Even at 31" it's a bit small. > If your OS doesn’t adapt to high DPI monitors cleanly, change your OS. Genuinely curious what modern OS's don't have high DPI support? AFAIK Windows, OSX, and all the modern linux distros (and their DE's) support it. Either way, it's usually not the OS, it's usually random programs that don't want to scale well.

Apple was selling these in store until not long ago. Should cover that use case (4 HD screens) fine, but the pixel density is terrible for using at scaled 4K.

> The problem is that at screen sizes less than 30" it's basically impossible to read text at 4k. Even at 31" it's a bit small. I have a laptop with a 12" 4k screen. I can read it just fine. I do scale it 200%, but that just means I would be able to read text just fine at 24" 4k with no scaling. It's all preference and how well the OS handles it. I think everyone can agree that the are still issues to work through on the OS side w.r.t. display scaling. Edit: I misunderstood your last comment. Maybe it isn't the OS's fault when programs don't scale well... but the OS should have an override that lies to the program to force scaling. Hacky though that may be, it would work well, at least for an even 200% scale factor.
