> Most 4k monitors are 24 inches Where are you getting this? I was looking at monitors recently and it's impossible to find ANY 24" 4K monitors. Most of them are 27", which at that screen size you really need scaling. My LG 27" 4K recently went out so I downgraded to my older 1440p 27" monitor. I'm not using scaling anymore, but the text doesn't have that buttery smooth look...

I think it's safe to say that 24 inch monitors aren't the majority of 4k monitors, but there's still a good number available. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=4k+monitor+24+inch&_dyncharset=UTF-8&_dynSessConf=&id=pcat17071&type=page&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=&sp=&qp=&list=n&af=true&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keys https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=4k+monitor+24... https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMUA2VC/A/lg-ultrafine-4k-display https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMUA2VC/A/lg-ultrafine-4k...

  Both links go to a LG 24" 4K TB display and a bunch of 24" FHD. There appears to be exactly one 24" 4K display being sold. Which is more a niche than a good number.

I have a Dell 24" 4k, which I got about two years ago, and back then, only Dell and Asus had a 24" option. I have no idea why manufacturers are so insistent on selling 27" 4k monitors; 2x scaling looks too big, and non-integer scaling looks blurry because the resolution is too low for 27". My theory is that most people, for all practical purposes, are blind.

  It seems the only option available is the Lg $700 monitor. So at 24” 4K does everything looks nice and smooth without scaling like a built in Retina display?

    Absolutely. That was my intention when I purchased the monitor, and it definitely delivered. I bought mine for $279. However, I had to return two of them because of a pronounced moire-like pattern created by the anti-reflective coating. The third one, the one I kept, still has a slightly visible pattern. I spend most of my day watching a screen, and I want it to be perfect. Because of this, I would be tempted to buy the new Apple display. However, buying an iMac makes much more economic sense. I have no idea why display manufacturers can't get the details right. Windows and Gnome look gorgeous at 2x rendering. macOS does too, but that's expected.
