As we know, 4k is now becoming, if not standard, at least increasingly commonplace on mid/high-end machines. There is of course a lot of debate on the various merits, pros and cons that such a resolution provides.
Some common arguments I hear for and against are:
-----------------------------------
PROs
CONs
So, with all that in mind... what I would like to discuss is:
1) Current owners of 4k laptop screens: what are your thoughts?
2) What do you think are the Pro's and Con's which I may not have covered above?
3) What are the thoughts on downscaling to 1080p for some apps and games, does the half resolution scaling result in a clear image?
Looking forward to reading some good posts.
Some common arguments I hear for and against are:
-----------------------------------
PROs
- People who do photo and video editing can view most original content as intended
- Movies in 4k can be watched as intended
- Incredibly sharp text and images
CONs
- Text scaling in Windows inconsistent, some apps near-unreadable
- Games run in 4k require massively more GPU power
- Uses more power
