OP for what it's worth I use resolutions on the low end for the same reason.

This is hard to explain but I also find the really high resolutions to look strange, like sharp edged and unpleasant vs lower resolutions that look smoother.

If you can see the pixels on a 1080 display just scooch back until you can't.

The setting for this is literally called "Make everything bigger" in windows to help people find it when they type their problem into the start menu. I've got a 1440 monitor and put mine on 125%

So you pay extra for hardware that can show more things and then use a software setting to make sure it's only displaying the old amount of things.

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
I bought yet another computer about 5 years ago. I threw it away in the garbage 2 years ago.

I never did learn how to use one and thank Christ now everything is able to be done on a phone.

I skipped generations of technology, It's bizarre as hell but it's better now

I got 1440 because 4k seemed like a way to make your GPU not cut the mustard. 4k people always fiddling with settings and worried about performance.

4K doesn’t even exist. For all of history prior, resolution was measured by the number of vertical pixels but then suddenly 2160p didn’t sound sexy enough for some marketing dilbert so now we have K’s using the number of horizontal pixels and it’s bullshit because it’s 3820 pixels not 4000, just a flat out lie by Big TV to get you to pay big bucks and then they keep the 180 pixels that YOU paid for. My lawyer is writing up the class action as I write this post.

If you want small pixels you can just walk away. I think you mean more pixels.

Oh sick, I take it back and fair point. I was wrong. I find computer useful even when making physical art but that's my choice and I know artists who ain't use poo poo besides physical tools.
