So this is good news from amd because I like them much more than Intel
I have a xps 13 and I specifically chose the 1080p version. Even at that res I still have to zoom / scale.
(all comparisons took place on XPS 13s)
If you're aware of folks testing this, it'd be great to share that. The fact remains that 4k displays have been available for non-AMD laptops for a very long time (at least a few years) so they keep making them and people keep buying them, so I'd like that arrangement to be offered at least for AMD laptops as well, because it's definitely something lots of people, as this thread clearly demonstrates.
4K is a little overkill for a 14" screen, but I understand why the jump instead of making custom resolutions.
(And to be clear, I’m not asking to be mean — I have multiple friends who were skeptical about retina displays, got an updated eye exam, and became huge fans)
Either way I think 1440p is the sweet spot. Wish more laptops would go that route.
A 4k, 15 inch screen is "retina" at 12 inches away and has a ppi of 293.72.
There may be something to be said about subpixels; but, it may be a placebo effect over a 1440p screen, honestly.
I can view ~6 open files at once (more depending), and this can be very helpful when trying to remember context: instead of remembering, I just split the screen and open the same file again.
When I got a 4K monitor, it replaced my previous dual monitor setup. I now prefer just one high-res monitor. Only disadvantage is that I spend time tweaking font sizes, but that's mostly front-loaded and once it's set up (Linux) I don't even think about it.
