    I don't understand the iMac resolution

    So this is my first iMac and yes it is 5k. But Apple mentions that It looks best at half the resolution, lets say 2.5k, downscaling it by 2. So I don't get how 4 pixels forced to display the same color of a dot is better than 4 pixel being able to display 4 variants of the same color for the...

    Why is there no scaling in OS X for high res monitors?

    I recently had to return a 25" Dell U2518D monitor with a native resolution of 2560x1440 after having a hard time trying to work on it (text was too small). But WHY is it that high res screens have no way of adjusting the UI without changing the resolution? Windows does this perfectly fine on...

And on my new "LG UltraFine 4K Display": So the point is, I get more screen "real estate" when selecting "more space" and more "per-pixel density" using "larger text". But I'm not clear as to...
