No, it might barely improve what _you_ see, but for me the difference between screens on work laptop (FHD) and my personal X1C is enormous and immediately obvious.

Between FHD and 4K for sure there’s a huge difference. But 4K is way overkill for 15“. And I really don’t understand why there’s like nobody except Apple who uses panels in a sweet spot between FHD and 4K. I have a HP ZBook 15“ with an FHD panel as my work laptop and it’s a bad experience especially when you’re dealing with text all the time. My personal MacBook Pro doesn‘t have 4K but a lot more than FHD and it’s perfectly fine. Same thing I didn’t get with aspect ratio. Apple did use 16:10 for years until some OEM realized that 16:9 is just bad for everything except movies.
- GordonS 6y agoI have a 3K (QHD) external monitor, and I think that's the sweet spot for me - I really wish QHD or WQXGA was a more popular option on 15-16" laptops.
