    Came here to say this. The display has a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels. And this “journalist” tells me, that it looks good with a configured resolution of 1920 x 1080. Tells a lot about the quality of this review.

      As far as the display, it’s beautiful.

      Coming from someone who sees no problem in downscaling by 2.5 the resolution instead of changing dpi, this means absolutely nothing.

        Actually, the ratio is 5/3 for the vertical axis and 3/2 for the horizontal one. Yes, the pixel count decreased by 2.5x but scaling factors are expressed in linear terms, not quadratic. Not to mention, ASPECT RATIO DISTORTION of 9/10 (-10%).

          Scaling factors for resolution are over the number of pixels, 4k isn’t called that because it has 16 times more pixels.

          Anyway, semantics. This comment discredits the reviewer in this sense.
