For me Retina resolution is all about text. I use my 24” 4K at 1920x1080 (2x) because that gives the clearest text.Well, I' m not too sure about 5k or 4k for my specific goal (photography). At the moment on 27" 5k iMac (2019). I' m thinking about a Mac Studio later this year. And then there' s the monitor ofcourse. Thinking about an Eizo CG monitor. This year there will be 2 new models; CG2700S (1440p) and 2700X (4k). Both 27". I still haven' t decided on the right resolution for photography; some seem to prefer 4k, while others say 1440p is the ideal resolution for a 27" screen. Especially for photography (no scaling necessary and I scale my 5k iMac to 1440p /"normal" on screen settings in iMac anyway). So, would a 4k monitor (scaled to 1440p), be preferable to an 1440 monitor? I've read a lot on the internet, but still cannot decide.
Maybe someone can chime in and give an advice?
Thank you.
For your needs it seems that color accuracy is more important than resolution. Even scaling a 4K at 2560x1440 shouldn’t matter since your photo software should render at full 4K resolution anyway without scaling. Use zoom functions to scale up and down as needed. Maybe I’m missing something as I’m not a photog.
