4k 24" is very nice to look at. Fonts would certainly be tiny but now we have Ps and Lr allowing for that and displaying text the proper size and looking very nice. Windows copes reasonably well and I dare say OS X does too. There are some exceptions around, especially old software that writes directly to screen, but I think the big boys realise that a lot of people want the benefits of 4k and are working to cope with it.
Browsers are a bit of a problem because ideally we want the text enlarged but not the pictures - unless they're thumbnails and icons. Photos that have enough pixels to fill a 4k screen look really, really good. At 185ppi, a 4k 24" screen is half way to being a self-lit print, assuming standard printing at 300/360ppi.
Ps and Lr draw to the screen at native ppi and so you can get true 1:1 viewing of images without any hidden scaling by the operating system. The user interface is scaled to suit but you have some control over that. The programs simply use bigger font in terms of pixels, but it looks "right" in terms of physical size - unlike a few years ago when it looked minuscule. The programs also display "bigger" boxes to hold the characters.
I don't know what the alternatives to Ps and Lr look like at high dpi.
To my eyes the 90-110ppi monitors look too chunky. I used to lean back to increase the viewing distance a little and they looked ok, but my prescription glasses don't allow me that flexibility now. 133ppi is ok but 185 looks great....Show more →
That's not really a viable option. I could probably justify the 4K Eizo, but online Adobe is a no go this time.
