By having fewer pixels, lower quality screens? Crazy what you can do when you cut corners.

This screen reminds of when I did tech support in high school and I helped a guy who bragged about his computer monitor, it was a TV running at 720p (if not lower) and a massive screen. The windows start bar was hilariously large (as were all UI elements), I had to just smile and nod until I got out of there.

Sure, your screen may be bigger but it's blurry and everything is scaled way too large.

I thought samdixon was referencing the Apple Pro Display XDR? If so, Apple has fewer pixels.

Apple Pro XDR: 6016 x 3384

Kuycon G32P: 6144 x 3456

The HiDPI/Retina bullshit is just bullshit. I've been running a 4K 43" 4:3 display at 100% scaling since 2018. It is neither blurry nor scaled too large. It can, however, comfortably fit 10 A4 pages simultaneously. Or 4 terminals + a browser + a PDF reader.

My arithmetic nodule is having a konniption fit. Does not compute. If this is 16:9 and you mistook your aspect ratio I can breathe again. √2:1 says 1.41:1 isn't 1.33:1

10 A4 pages do not fill a 4:3 or 3:4 aspect ratio box. They don't fill a 16:9 box either but it's more plausible, the wastage is different.

My comment (or at least that quote) was specifically about someone using a 30"+ TV at 720p as their computer monitor.
