I got a 4K display and regret it. Going back to 2K because 4K:
- requires lots of wasted processing power
- hard to see without messing with fonts (again, more processing power)
- have to zoom in to work with pixel precision
- not many programs/games actually support 4K resolution
- older games look terrible
- only good for LOOKING at photos, rarely actually editing (again, because of constant zooming)
- probably good for 4K movies, but 4K BDs are almost impossible to watch on a PCs
I'd move to 2K CRT.
