5K 27” looks usefully better than 4K 27” to my middle aged eyes.
I’d prefer that to not be so, because 5K panels are so much more expensive. But in a side by side comparison it’s very obvious.
But the market has spoken: a quality 4K display is very good, certainly good enough, and the value for money is great.
I’m ok with spending more on a better display that I spend so much time with. The cost per use-hour is still very, very low.
Agreed. I tried 24k 4k screen as soon as they came out (required two DP cables to run at 60Hz at the time), and turning subpixel rendering off, I could see jagged edges on fonts from normal sitting position (I am shortsighted, but at -3.25 I always need correction anyway, which brings my eyesight to better than 20/20). At 27" or 32", DPI is even worse.
And MacOS has removed support for subpixel rendering because "retina", though I only use it when forced (work).
