BTW the demand for bigger screens and bigger resolutions is something I don't easily understand. I notice some difference between 1366x768 and 1920x1080 on a desktop, but the difference from further increase is of so little use for me I'd classify it as a form of bloat. If anything, I now habitually switch to downloading 480p and 720p instead of higher definition by default because it saves me traffic and battery power, and fits much more on a single disk easy to back up.

Pixel density is more important than resolution. Higher resolution is only useful outside of design work if the screen size matches

IMO the ideal resolutions for computer monitors is 24" @ 1080p, 27" @ 2k, and 32"+ at 4k+. For TV it's heavily dependant on viewer distance. I can't tell the difference between 2k and 4k on my 55" TV from the couch.

the main thing I noticed with a 768p monitor was gnome being unusable thanks to their poor ui density
