    Even as a dev, I use a 32" QHD screen for programming. If I went 4K, I would need to use 150% scaling, and that breaks a LOT of stuff.

    Everything is built for 100% scaling. Every time I’ve plugged my PC into a 4K display I’ve regretted it. It go to 30Hz (on HDMI) or glitch out or something. Even if it doesn’t, it’s never as smooth.

      I have a 43" 4K and at that physical size display scaling at 100% is appropriate (despite windows trying to run it at 300% out of the box) and it is legitimately useful. Its effectively four 1080p screens in a grid with no bezel between.
