Everything above 1440p isn't offering any display space. I have a 4K monitor but 150% DPI is needed to make things big enough to work with.
I'm using a 5k by 1200 monitor and it's awesome with Kde. I suppose it would be equally great with other interfaces.
With 100% DPI?
Sure, native resolution, it's fine.
Not so on my laptop with an insane resolution of like 2k by 3k on a 13 or 14 inch screen though.
What do you mean 2k by 3k? And 5k by 1200? 4K is a resolution of 3840 × 2160. 1440p is normally 2560 × 1440.
My 4K monitor ( 3840 × 2160) is 27 inches and with 100% DPI is not usable. Resolution is 4K only bigger UI. (150%, which is as if I had 1440p).
