Unfortunately at 3840 x 2160, it's not ideal since in pixel doubled mode (retina), you're only getting the equivalent of a 1080p display.

The 22" LG Ultrafine used to have a 4069 x 2304 resolution. So in pixel doubling mode you actually got more screen real estate than newer 24" 4k models (which are only 3840 × 2160)!

The problem is better described here: https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/2/20678597/lg-ultrafine-4k-2...

Hmmm. I actually quite like 2160p as a simple upgrade over 1080p; usually I just solve the screen real estate problem by buying more monitors. You can get the 24UD58-B for about $200 used on eBay, so this is not a large cost.
