at computer viewing distances its fine. you need to be like 3 foot away for high dpi to be worth it in the 20"-whatever sizes

well it depends on whats your computer distance. i usually sit so i cant reach the monitor with my arm, and at 100% scaling im comfortable with ~100 ppi. could go a bit higher, but wouldn't want to overdo it. hence, without universal hi-dpi support (which is not my use case), i'd prefer at least 32" screen if its 4k

some 32"-37" inch 4k would probably be nice though, given a new computer. would most likely be enough with a single monitor too

the goal on a small 4k is to get a high dpi with insanely crisp text

Notorious b.s.d. posted:

at 37" i'm gonna want a lot more than 4k pixels

200 dpi or bust

the goal of a small 4k with windows is to find something that doesn't support hi-dpi

then your goal is stupid and you should stop
ah, the "you are holding it wrong"
which is why i said im willing to step up in dpi a bit, up to 32" monitor which is a bit under 140 ppi iirc. any more and the physical sizes is getting into "too much" territory for me, but i dont see why i couldnt replace 2x24" with 1x32"

how does windows deal with dynamic ranges

last i heard it could figure colours out so when gpu manufacturers switch to using windows hdr mechanism in drivers, people began rolling back to older driver versions that worked without window sthing

how long will it take before hdr monitor prices fall to the point where theyre not much more expensive than their current non-hdr equivalents? are we talking a year or like four or five?

four or five i'd say. atm software developers still havent figured hidpi screens, and hardware manufacturers are still not making actual hdr computer monitors. everyone just tacks on some hdr derivation, like dell with u2518d - it has "dell hdr" that uses narrower colour gamut and like a third of brightness than what hdr10 standard reocmmends

hell, the standards havent been figured out yet, there's at least half a dozen of major competing versions
