    Making text bigger: Retina 4k w/ 'Larger text' vs. 1080p w/ lower res

    I'm buying a 21.5-inch iMac and was wondering if the more expensive Retina option is worth it if I'm going to use the 'Larger text' scaling option to get bigger text (I have poor eyesight).

    Anybody running 27" 4K monitors in 1440p scaled mode?

    Hi guys, I'm debating to get some new displays for my Mac Pro 6.1. My eyes want the retina effect ;) So the question is either jump right in and get two dell 2715k. Or maybe two 2715Q will be just fine for me. But I have never seen a 4K display run at scaled 1440p mode and have no clue how it...
