My Adventures with “4K” 2160p and Linux
"The myth I keep hearing is that you must go to larger fonts when scaling up to a 4K monitor. This is not exactly true. Do the math. If you double the screen resolution and at the same time you double the screen width, you have done absolutely nothing to the size of a pixel or the physical size of your fonts."<p>Yeah but it's a 39" monitor... On your desk!  Seriously, I'm all for the largest monitor and resolution and everything else, but there's a point where I'd argue it's just too much.  I think a 39" monitor on your desk is crossing that line.  I can't imagine the neck strain that's going to occur.<p>Instead of selling extended warranties, they need to start selling these with chiropractic insurance.<p>Full disclosure: I just went through several days of research on 1440p vs 4k.  I went into it assuming I'd get a 4k monitor, but in the end, opted for the 1440p monitor because I refused to stick a 39" monitor on my desk, and the 28" 4k would require DPI scaling and all that mess.<p>I'd get a 4k for gaming, assuming I had a rig that could power games at that resolution.  Otherwise, I'm happy with my decision to get the Asus PB278Q 1440p monitor.
