Anything less than 144dpi can be hard to focus on i.e. text and graphics can appear a little fuzzy. I bought a 32" 4k Dell monitor earlier in the year when they were on a special but had to send it back as I couldn't focus on it. It's DPI was 139. I've since obtained a 27" 4K HP monitor with a DPI of 163.5 and it's been superb. -- Colin Fee [email protected]
