I want too much. I need a 4k oled display and I'd buy AMD so fast.

I had a few 4k laptops and .. eh .. they're excessive. I have a 4k monitor I do my photo editing on and it makes a difference, but a 13-15" laptop screen is really too small for me to care.

I'm often working out of a hotel and my laptop screen is my only screen. I can use the hotel TV but it's painful looking up-down-up-down. I can carry a portable external monitor but that becomes unmanageable when I need to pack light.

I usually prefer 2x scaling on a 4k screen, and then pictures and text are unscaled. I like being able to put a 1080p movie in the upper left corner and a reference webpage below that, then a big text editor to the right and 'work'.

Why would you be looking up and down?

Often the TV is mounted on the wall above the desk I am working at. So you sit on the bed with your laptop instead and use Miracast and a Microsoft Wireless Display adapter (nice) - but looking near and far is painful as your eyes refocus.

I just find it simpler to have 1 high resolution screen where I can put high def content side-by-side or in quarters on screen.

For now this works, but in 10 years when movies and web pages are 4k by default I'll need an 8k laptop screen (haha)

(Probably at 17" though)

I see. Very informative answer.

When I am working I only use one screen, and only one window in the screen, and instead I constantly switch between virtual desktops, to the point where I just think "browser", "editor", "terminal" without even perceiving the keystrokes.

However, for gaming I dream of having one of these ultrawide screens that have the resolution of 3 normal screens side by side. Something quite complicated to have in a laptop, but I have seen some attempts.
