    Everything above 1440p isn’t offering any display space. I have a 4K monitor but 150% DPI is needed to make things big enough to work with.

      I’m using a 5k by 1200 monitor and it’s awesome with Kde. I suppose it would be equally great with other interfaces.

          Sure, native resolution, no zoom, it’s fine.

          Not so on my laptop with an insane resolution of like 2k by 3k on a 13 or 14 inch screen though.

            What do you mean 2k by 3k? And 5k by 1200? 4K is a resolution of 3840 × 2160. 1440p is normally 2560 × 1440.

            My 4K monitor ( 3840 × 2160) is 27 inches and with 100% DPI is not usable. Resolution is 4K only bigger UI. (150%, which is as if I had 1440p).

              The 5k monitor is a 49 inch model from MSI. The laptop is a compact model from Lenovo, a Yoga Pro something or other. Not sure what its resolution is (3k something by 2k something from what I remember), just that it’s needlessly high for its screen size, requiring UI scaling.
