Maybe my desk setup explains why 27" screens don't seem that large to me and why 4K with UI scaling less than 200% is way too small?

@charlotte That's why I specified 27" in the poll which is small in my book

So many people use 150% UI scalling that it at least explains why UI scaling appears to cause so many problems for others, but none for me (with 200%). Fractional scaling is an entirely different beast from integer scaling.

@wakame At least when you go from 100% to 200%. Fractional is weird.

@wakame People keep telling me UI scaling is weird, but that doesn't match my experiences at all these days. drgn_think__w_ It used to be bad at the beginning, but I don't remember the last time I had issues

There's something I need to know just out of curiosity:

On a 27" display with 4K resolution, you would use a UI scaling of

@stefan Using Mastodon on a 4K display with UI scaling set to 200% leads to emojis being rendered at 40x40 rather than 20x20. They aren't larger, but you can see fine details which helps a lot with legibility.

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.
