As others have said, smooth, crisp font rendering. I’ve been using high DPI displays for almost 10 years now and would never consider going back. Using a 1440 monitor, say, feels to me like using a machine with a floppy disk: an anachronism.
My wife though swears she cannot tell the difference and doesn’t care which she uses. This boggles my mind and is actually a bit frustrating to me, but that’s my problem.
So, I’m interested in if you can tell the difference but don’t care or if it’s something else.
I’ve always used a Mac though, maybe that’s the difference? Never seen Linux/Windows in 4K.

- goosedragons 4y agoI don't care that much but I do notice. Most PC laptops these days are 1080p and at their sizes this is generally 160+ PPI which is about the same as a 27" 4K display so it looks fine to me. Apple also has made their text rendering look worse on non-retina screens a few versions back which exacerbates the problem compared to Windows and Linux.
- zozbot234 4y ago1440p can be quite crisp if you're using pixel-perfect, antialiased rendering and looking at the whole screen. Even for text. Anything higher is either overkill or (most often) compensating for defects in the rendering pipeline. (In fact, there's a viable argument that even 1080p ought to suffice, and 768p be "good enough for most uses".)
- windowsrookie 4y agoI switch back and forth between modern High DPI displays and older ~1440p displays. I don't really care myself. High resolution has never mattered to me. I'm the same way with video tho, I can still watch 480p YouTube video and it doesn't bother me at all. Whereas some people I know can't stand watching 1 second of video below 1080p.
