at 14" is the difference even distinguishable? I can barely tell the difference between 1080p and retina on screens that small

- bmurphy1976 6y agoIt's complicated. For me it's about how smooth the text is and how consistent the experience is. 4k with 2x (integer scaling) is a pleasant balance of crisp rendering and appropriate text size. The lower resolutions would require non-integer scaling and so far my experience doing that in Linux environments has been very poor. I don't expect this to be a smooth experience any time in the near future. I'd love to be proven wrong though.
- powersnail 6y agoThe difference is huge for me, especially for reading texts. The rending quality is night and day.
- dTal 6y agoBetween 1080 and WQHD, sure. But between WQHD and 4k?
- akvadrako 6y agoBoth are fine from a DPI standpoint, but some people prefer the size of 4k@2x to WQHD at 1x or 2x.
- powersnail 5y agoYes, I can definitely tell. I have owned both WQHD and 4K laptops. At least for text, I can tell the difference at first sight, and I’m more comfortable with 4K.
