Over 2/3 of regular users are still using 1080p[1]. If your design looks bad on FHD then it looks bad to most people. [1] https://store.steampowered.com/hwsur

  Right, but it looks good on the designer's screen. That's the issue.

    Just like programmers should have to run their apps on 10 year old computers and feel the pain, so should designers have to try their work on 10 year old monitors.

  >Over 2/3 of regular users That isn't going to be the case for Apple users though is it. Apple don't have any non retina devices in their lineup now. The only Apple users who will see a low dpi display are those plugging in a low dpi external monitor. They are going to be a minority.

  Perhaps a better survey would be the one by Firefox[0] since it isn't biased towards gamers. Basically HiDPI monitors are like a combined 2% of all Firefox users. 1080p usage is lower than on Steam but that is because 768p usage is higher :-P.
