The point of HiDPI is not having really small text, is doubling the scaling so text looks smooth instead of a pixelated, blocky mess.

I thought it was a gimmick in 2015 before I got my first MBP, these days I can't go back and have my eyes bleed on 96 dpi. You don't even need full Retina, my 27" 4K screen looks gorgeous at double scaling.

>150 dpi monitors are the second best tech upgrade of this millennium after the SSD. Yet, there's still people these days that will try to convince you their 5400 rpm disk is fast enough, just because they have never experienced modern hardware.

Resolution doesn’t change physical text size. They’re independent. It makes text at the same physical size more readable. Which sounds like what you want?

I'm shopping for ultawide right now, care to share the link of the monitor you got?
