I use fractional scaling hidpi (1.3x) and no issues at all. But coming from a 2015 MBP 13" retina display, I can definitely tell the difference, and the MBP was much nicer to look at.

I opted fro the FHD+ instead of the 4K screen in my Dell for two reasons:

- 4K is *WAY* beyond Retina, which is already very dense for me.

- I was afraid the 4K would drain the battery (especially on Linux)

I really hope Dell will offer a sane ~3K display (i.e. Retina levels) in the future and remove the burden of choice for their customers (at least where it's not needed).

Before you ask: no coil whine for me, but the thin rubber feet peeled off after exactly one year. This pissed me off on a £2K laptop.
