4K is barely here and getting into the market, but we already have some great monitors in the Acer XB280HK, which is powered by NVIDIA's G-SYNC technology.

We once used 640 x 480, font size and scalability has been adjusted over the years as 1920 x 1080P became the standard. It will be no different with 4K / 8K.

I use Windows 7 @ 1440P and just set scaling to 125%. It's perfect.

Fonts and icons will need larger sizes. They'll appear the same physical size on the screen but look much sharper
