>Wait, how big does your screen physically need to be to even call 5K a win over 4K As I mentioned with "productivity, not gaming", preferring 5K over 4K isn't about making picture prettier. This is about having a 5K 27" screen with 177.8% of the work area of a 4K 27" screen. A 5K display (5120 x 2880) is 14,745,600 pixels, whereas a 4K display (3840 x 2160) is 8,294,400 pixels, yet a 27-inch panel is a 27-inch panel. It's about more stuff in the same area. It's why I've been using 1440p panels since 2010 instead of 1080p panels (and a 1920x1200 panel back in 2004). Just now everything on the screen can be crisper, since we use four pixels (2 x 2) to define the same logical area we used to define with a single pixel. It's like having a 77.8% larger desk, except the desk is the same physical size as the "smaller one." This is about more of my work being visible at once.
