What's the actual resolution of this? The idea of using something with such low pixel density seems really painful to me.

- bhouston 2y agoIt is 4K. I wish it was higher. But practically, I cannot find an affordable 6K OLED monitor. And 8K is both unaffordable as well as not supported by my MacBook Air: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/macbook-air/apd8cdd74f57/mac#:~:text=Your%20MacBook%20Air%20can%20support%20one%20external%20display%20with%20up,4K%20resolution%20at%20144%20Hz https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/macbook-air/apd8cdd74f.... I do set my MacBook resolution to maximum and it works well.
- madeofpalk 2y agoSo you value just the physical size of things, not being able to display more 'stuff'? For example, a 27" 5k (5120 x 2880) display will give you more space/resolution for stuff than a 4k 48" display. I can't imagine how pleasent that would be, the display being so physically large with pixels the side of boulders. As long as it works for you, I guess! I'm with you in spirit though - I ditched dual monitors for an ultrawide and its now the only way I can work.
- bhouston 2y agoI do wish it was higher resolution for sure, but that isn't feasible this year. I would have to squint at a 27" 5K monitor to read the fonts if I put this much on screen at once.
