Desktop compositing latency is real

I looked at 4k monitors but ultimately decided against it because as soon as you start scaling then you lose the extra screen real estate.

At 4k 150% scaling you end up with the same screen space as 2560x1440.

I personally like the higher resolution that scaling provides, but if you don't mind low DPI you should check out the 42.5" 4k panel that Dell makes[0]. I have one in my home office, and while it's not great for design and photo editing, the sheer real-estate available is mind blowing.

I agree and I _almost_ didn't buy the 4k panel, but as I noted in my comment above my first Dell panel lasted 12 years, and that's a long time.
