The screen is 2560x1600 which is perfect for a 16" screen without needing much display scaling adjustments in Windows. It definitely depends on your eyes, and for me, despite being "up there in years", my close vision has staying pretty good so I tend to scale down just a bit to make things smaller and give myself more screen real estate.
Another option to look at is the Acer Swift 16 AI with 16" 3K 120Hz 400-nit Touch OLED (500+ nit HDR) display for $100 more at BestBuy (currently on sale):

Similar specs, but eye-candy for a screen! I'd choose the Acer over the this Dell bottom-line model. (I actually have had this Acer and I liked it).

thx again ! i looked at the ACER but it has16 GB memry option only and dell has the 32GB option and i tend to have too many things running at the same time.
Also in terms of res i figure 2.5K is as much as my eyes can handle on a16" and the acer is slightly more at 3k so would have to scale it up. i am amazed you scale down. i dont have exactly that screen res but it seems to me at 2.5 K on 16" it would already be almost unreadable.
anyway would have preferred the acer screen quality but mainly for text will the difference be noticeably bad for dell... if not i think i will go with the 32 GB dell.

Total $835 (tax) - $250 - $101 Dell reward = $534 shipped for 32GB one. Not bad
