My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.

    HiDPI is pretty good though, I’m running Fedora Workstation (GNOME) on a 4K 14" Thinkpad X1 Yoga with 2.5x scaling. Everything looks crisp except for a few applications like Audacity and Minecraft.

      A lot of apps still have issues and it just takes one personally important one to make the whole thing not worth it.

        My laptop is at 150%, my external display is at native resolution, like god intended.

          My school laptop is at 125% (it’s high resolution enough that I have a hard time reading the text on 100% ) and my other laptop is 100% . 150% is just wasted screen space.

            At 150% it’s the “same” resolution as the desktop display, which is great for window management, % of wasted space completely depends on how many pixels you had to start with…

              No, it’s only the same if the desktop display is the same size as the laptop screen but lower resolution. Which just isn’t the case most of the time.
