That's a general blanket statement as fact. I went 1800p on 13" laptops 3 years ago. That is as low as I will ever go. I also have a Samsung Tab S2 8.0 for reading and a Nexus 6 phone. My next 13" Ultrabook will be a 4k OLED. Nothing else contends.

For general purpose usage and for gamers it is "fact", but there are certainly people who prefer high dpi displays in Windows. The first thing I did on my Macbook Pro running Windows was to turn off the terrible scaling, and lower the resolution. The panel's upscaling is better than Windows.

I don't mind high dpi on my Android phone since Android handles high dpi well.

Eventually high dpi will catch up in Windows, and I'll be "forced" to accept the horror of a 4K OLED ;-)

Which laptop are you using now?

Strongly disagree. I have had multiple 4k laptops and the difference is huge. Scaling does suck for many apps, though.

All the apps I use have high dpi support. I can't imagine going back to 1080p.
