The Ultimate MacBook+PC Monitor Showdown

I almost certainly can't see the difference between 4k and 5k (although it depends on the screen resolution - if the 4k screen is using some weird multiplier then everything is blurry and crappy).

But TFA is looking at 1440p screens, which is 2560x1440 and is LoDPI (@1x) on a 27" screen. I can absolutely tell the difference on those and that's what I can't ever go back to.

The LG 5K screen is 5120x2880 - same "size" as 1440p but everything @2x, and that is glooooorious :)

The difference between 4K and 5K on the same screen size would just be the amount of screen real estate (essentially, that’s the real estate of 1080p and 1440p respectively) which you can definitely notice.

(If you’re using a non-integer scaling factor, that’s a different story, but I’ve always stuck to integer scaling factors.)
