I tried using a 4K IPS display for usual programming tasks, but the usual fonts become so painfully tiny that it's just unbearable (and I have almost perfect vision). Combining a normal old display with modern 4K also creates lots of problems. For example, I drag windows and tool boxes a lot between desktops when working with code or in 3D.
The perfect resolution for my old-school self is now a WQHD 2560*1440. Not in any "hi-dpi" sense.

It is for this reason I prefer 2 1080p monitors connected to my work laptop.
I prefer physical size for my screen real estate as opposed to jamming more onto a single display.
Scaling between different display sizes as you move windows around doesn't work well on Windows so I also prefer my laptop display to have the same resolution.
My wife takes a different approach: Giant, cheap 4k TV with windows spread out connected to her work machine.

>4K IPS display
It's not what person above suggests. It's about something like 5K display rendered in 200% resolution, so it's equivalent to 1440p. Then you can have slightly downscale fonts compared to "raw" 1440p since you'll still have more clarity due to higher pixels per inch.
