Are you able to read text at 1:1 native scaling?

I believe once you reach 150% scaling, you end up with the same screen real estate as a 2560x1440 monitor. 200% scaling is the same as 1080p.

Indeed: I like ultrawides so I can see more stuff at the same physical size. I only want greater pixel density to he crisp rendering.

If I had a taller, 16:9 version of my 49" 32:9 ultrawide, I think that much screen would swallow me alive.

That’s true - but the text is soooo nice (especially on Mac OS)
