I would've expected 4K PC monitors to be the default by now.
I bought my 4K display in 2016, so 9 years ago. In that same time span, I had gone from a 1024x768 CRT to a 1680x1050 display to a 1080p display. Why are we stagnating there? It's making my life as an emoji designer unnecessarily difficult. :woozy_baa: -

tbh 1440p is the sweet spot in my opinion, even if it doesnt scale right you can still read it but you wont see any pixels on medium sized displays
(source: got a crappy old 4k monitor as my 2nd monitor and a 144hz 1440p monitor as my main which i bought a couple years ago) -

To be honest, I much prefer working on my two 1080p monitors at home than on the 4k curved monitor at work. For standard office work with many programs open and 3 virtual desktops, I find it more convenient, and the quality and readability are fine. -

Why? Gamers, probably. Gamers and cheap office monitors.

no point buying a 4k monitor when the gpu you need to drive it is even more expensive -

And with how much those cards cost now.... 1440p seems more the sweet spot anyway
Also I guess for everything else (like office and stuff) You just don't get much benefit from the extra pixels?
these reasons are made up of course. Its jusf because the industry wants to see you suffer
Also how exactly would that make your life easier. Bigger Emotes still would not be a thing -

They aren't larger, but you can see fine details which helps a lot with legibility.
