Ok, if it would be 2560 vertically on a 13" screen that's fair to consider it HiDPI but for 1280p on 15" this is questionable yet Windows does just this.I understand this is good for the vendors (who can claim they are selling you HiDPI - FullHD doesn't sound impressive enough anymore) and visually impaired people (that's actually great they are treated as the primary audience now). Perhaps this also is good as some sort of transition period so the technology gets introduced gradually while the screens still are not too dense and non-aware apps don't just become unusable instantly.
- frou_dh 5y agoWe're talking horizontal resolution. No need for "p" obfuscation from the TV world!
- qwerty456127 5y agoOk, I thought we were talking about vertical an included the p specifically to disambiguate this. Practically 1080p just means 1920×1080 unambiguously (I know what does the p actually mean).
- frou_dh 5y agoIt doesn't help that some laptops are 16:9 and some 16:10 so the vertical numbers get even more mushy. Anyway, my point was that even though "4K" as a concept has good mindshare, that's overkill even for a True Retina(tm) experience in the typical OSes on a 13". Around 100 DPI is what those UIs were foundationally designed for (starting in the 1990s) and all numbers unfold from that decision.
