  • 1080p is just fine, but it’s not good and definitely not great. If you’ve tried a high DPI display like the ones on MacBooks, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Using a computer at 200% scaling just makes everything so much more pleasing to look at, especially the text. The pixels are gone, so everything looks sharp and smooth. I really cannot wait for 5K 27" monitors with high refresh rates to come out. This will likely be an instant buy from me, except if it’s like 2 grand.

    General high DPI with the same relative UI scale as 24" 1080p, but with much sharper visuals:

    24" 4k 27" 5k 32" 6k

    And the good thing is you can always set your game to use half the resolution and it will look as if it was the lowdpi equivalent, because the pixels are simply grouped using 3 neighbors, no fractional scale BS.

    My laptop has a 3072*1920 screen that I use at 200% scale on Linux, and I wouldn’t buy anything that doesn’t work well at 200%. Apple seem like the only ones who understood this with MacOS that is designed to be used at 200% on basically ALL their retina monitors. this is why they have weird definitions, because they need to hit 200%, and based on the size of the display, a standard resolution won’t reach exactly 200% and the UI will be too small or too large.

    Since the first second their video released I thought to myself “what a bunch of delusional apple wannabes”. From the way their marketing videos are shot, to the way the product looks, it just screams “WE WANT TO BE APPLE”. Except their idea was shit from the beginning and they had probably gotten VCs to give them money so they couldn’t just can it. It’s literally a 700$ microphone with a useless projector, and a 24$ a month openai subscription. I see a lot of people saying “this could have been an app” and I have never seen something more true. This is literally peak silicon valley bullshit.
