Just a few questions:

I’ve heard that when using scaling (HiDPI) video and pictures are not affected (not scaled). Does that mean if I go to YouTube, the video will be tiny? Or if I click on a picture in google image search, that picture will be tiny / be displayed as if I was running the monitor at native resolution with no scaling?

Lastly, I feel like the fonts on Windows 10 are already too smal at 1920x1080 @ 21.5”. Does anyone use Windows at 225% scaling on the 4K iMac? If so, how does it look? Similar to 1600x900?

Thanks!

Everything in the UI is sized as if the screen is 2048x1152. You wouldn't know it's retina if you didn't notice the increased quality.
