After applying EPP discounts, Samsung S80UA 27" UHD HDR10 IPS monitor is available for $335.99. I haven't checked with EDU discounts but am guessing it would apply too. Not a bad price for latest 4K high resolution monitor

Key features:
  • 27" 60Hz IPS panel
  • 3840 x 2160 px resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio
  • HDR10 (but max brightness only 300 nits)
  • USB-C 90W power delivery

You can set lower resolution and/or increase text size in Windows settings.

On high DPI displays, text appears much sharper (cannot differentiate pixels). Windows traditionally had problems with high resolution displays but has been getting better recently. I plan to use 4K monitor with Mac Mini and Mac OS settings work much more seamlessly with high resolution displays.

I get all this but here is my question.

My primary monitor (Software Engineer) is Samsung 43" Q60T at 4k. I bought the Samsung M7 4K 32" smart monitor during the pandemic mostly to stream TV when I was working late at night. To finish my setup, I bought the 32" QHD S60A Samsung as I found 4k unusable as a monitor for working. I have really good eyes too.

My question is would you set this 27" to 4k and just have at it without changes? And if you scale, why not get a cheaper QHD display?

I honestly think I missing something.

EDIT: So I noticed that I am leaning back in my chair in my WAH setup. I assume that if you leaned into the monitors, you would want 4k on a 32"

If you want a display that doesn't look pixelated, 4K resolution for anything above 27" doesn't look good. Apple crammed 4.5K resolution in their latest 24" iMac. As I said, for my setup with Mac OS, I need not worry about scaling as the OS does it very smoothly for all the UI elements, not just text. I prefer editing photos and videos on a high resolution screen than a pixelated screen. I think it all comes down to personal preferences in the end. Smilie

Edit: For screen to look Retina-like or non-pixelated, it is better to go above 150 PPI. 4K on 43" screen is 102 PPI whereas 4K on 27" screen is 163 PPI.
