Someone forgot to tell him that he can turn on scaling and set different virtual resolution.

macOS handles this very good, at work I'm using two 27" 4k displays side by side with virtual resolution set to 2560x1440 which gives me no problem with size of icons/apps and very good image quality at the same time.

Was just going to write a similar message. Most of us where I work do the exact same thing as you, and no one has any problems like the author describes. I wonder if he was using a TV and not a monitor? I’ve noticed some of the TVs only scale to TV resolutions—1080p, 720p—whereas a proper LG or Dell scales to many resolutions.

The scaling is done by macOS and the output signal regardless of the virtual resolution is 4k.

I tried it but that brought other problems. Thanks though.

What other problems did it bring up?
