    Dell U4320Q defaults to 1080p on Mac but Monitor shows a 3840 x 2160 connection.

    I am a bit confused how my Mac scales a 4 K monitor and if I am truly getting 4K or retina mode on my Dell 4320Q. When I got my Dell U4320Q the text was huge and bright on the default setting. I discovered later in the Display Preferences that this is running as “like 1080p”. Meanwhile the...
