i know it's not really fair to laugh at but our new high spec laptop is a lenobo P50 with a 4K screen running Win7.

the start menu is the size of a postage stamp.
that is the menu, when opened, not just the button itself.

Even worse if you have one low dpi and one high dpi monitor.
The mouse speed does not scale properly. Pointer size also feels off. Most important applications, including adobe stuff, do not even loving support it yet. Software that does support it gently caress up when a window is spanning both monitors.

is that the one where you go to the bench and then scripted spiky monster sneaks in and stabs you while your inventory is open?

It somewhat fixes the abysmally low mouse sensitivity in the PC port.

X11 has always had variable dpi, since forever, and unlike windows, people actually used it. back in the 90s it was very common for X11 displays to be 80, 96, or 100 dpi. like, all three possibilities were almost equally common. so every gui toolkit ever written, from the very beginning, has had substantial support for scalable UI

the result is that when i got a retina macbook a couple years ago pretty much all gui software worked fine ootb with no fiddling around

the horrible, horrible exception was web browsers. firefox worked with some fiddling. chrome never worked.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

windows does hidpi fine, the problem is 16x9 is a poverty ratio for tvs and is not suited to computing.

if you don't need to do fullscreen something then it's fine, otherwise many things don't play well with the resolution. vertical space might also feel somewhat limited, and you'll need to actually spend on vesa mount that can hold it.

but that's practical stuff, so wait for pagancow to tell about panels and colours
