I don't give a shit about 4K, colour accuracy, ultrawide, or 120+Hz refresh rates. My cheapo monitors look good enough to me, and I have no interest in dealing with the dumpster fire that is HiDPI.
Applications already know how to deal with subpixel AA, and dealing with one application with poor antialiasing is still vastly preferably to dealing with one application with broken HiDPI scaling.
If monitors could just stagnate in ~2010-2015 tech for all eternity, that'd be great. It's a solved problem, let's collectively move on to problems that actually deserve the attention.

- lostmsu 5y agoI often switch between ~6" 2560px phone screen and ~7" 1920px one, and the later clearly can display more information at the same level of readability than the former. Same with 15" 4k hi quality laptop screen vs 40" 4k display. So in the only metric that matters, hidpi appears to be irrelevant. The only thing that I find to matter is the angular size of the display at a distance, that doesn't make your eyes strain. (as a dev)
