That's odd. I've got an Asus ZenBook (UX305FA) running Fedora 25 with Gnome. I'm using my BenQ BL2710PT at its regular 2560 x 1440 resolution and it looks great. Other than adjusting the brightness a little I didn't have to do any tweaks.

27" at 2560x1440 is not high DPI and doesn't require UI upscaling. On e.g. a MacBook Retina you would not be able to read anything without upscaling because the pixel density is so high. It's the main reason I still use OS X on my MBP.

For reference, a Retina 5K iMac is 27" and its native resolution is 5120x2880, exactly 4x as many pixels.

Thanks for the clarification.

Same for me. Works extremely well nowadays.

Only application that doesn't scale is yEd, but it's 3rd party closed sourve and it doesn't scale on OS X or Windows either.
