Windows Scaling - Does this Defeat the Purpose of a 4K Monitor?
Hi, I recently upgraded my monitor to 4K and noticed that Windows Scaling shows the value of 150% as Recommended. Leaving it at 100% is super crisp, clean, but small - the upgraded resolution is obvious.
But I find that 150% almost looks like a 1080p resolution... and am curious if setting it to that defeats the purpose of having a 4K monitor. Meaning, am I dropping the monitor's resolution by using any scaling above 100%? And why would Windows suggest 150% if doing so downgrades the quality of the HiDPI? Just doesn't look super high res to me anymore at 150%... is it just me?
