You're lucky with only 2560x1440, try a 5k screen on Windows 10, most (all?) modern apps work fine with Win 10 DPI scaling, but allot of the older, or less supported things like headphone software (looking at you Logitech) have 0 DPI support and are TINY or are scaled up, but pixelated (Looking at you Steam! Steam has updates like every 2nd day, but have yet to update the UI for proper DPI scaling)

Sorry, rant over, had to get it out.

But I do use both Mac and Windows regularly and they both have their quirks, but personally I find Mac to be more polished, but Windows is catching up and Apple has been slacking recently.

Right - I meant that the big monitors are standard DPI, the laptop isn't.

On OS X, I've literally never thought about DPI.
