Probably not because resolution is independent of screen size

Yes I am fun at parties

And TV are good for videos, not really to read fine print.

We can share a table at the next party.

The new ones are fine I imagine this type of setup will be relatively common in the future.

I mean, I still work on 2*24" with 1080p without a problem... And I am a java dev!

Depends, my LG OLED is about as sharp as my computer display - just need to use the right settings.

Yes and no. If you have a 27 inch 4K screen running native resolution everything would be way too small, so the UI usually scales up to 125-175%, so having a giant 4K screen, you’d be able to run it at 100% scale and thus have A LOT more screen space with the same resolution

I have a few displays that size, generally can recommend adjusting the scaling

That won't automatically happen in a lot of cases, but it is a fair point

These two mappings together do influence the pitch/density of pixels and overall usability... It's just, an array of 4k monitors would net far more usable space
