That's why we have so-called 5k monitors in 27" size class? Being exactly 2x pixel density of conventional 1440p


27” 1440p at 100% is too small for me, so 5K at 200% has the same problem. More generally, the available PPIs combined with integer scaling only yield relatively few options at a given viewing distance. More choice would be nice.


Yep pretty much, and 6k 32" monitors. Both are fringe monitors mainly used by mac people.
