> I want to have more windows and text on single screen

> not smaller pixels for which I have to increase scaling proportionally

I'll never understand this argument. You want to place windows and text on a single screen so that it's comfortable to read, not smaller, and not bigger.

Then, when you have the perfect reading font size for your viewing distance, there's no imaginable scenario where you would want a lower resolution. If you have a comfortable physical font size, the same font size at a higher resolution will always be better than at a lower resolution.

Especially if you don't have perfect vision.




>"I'll never understand this argument."

You do not have to. I choose what works the best for me personally. And yes I looked at higher resolution monitors. Did not seem to look any better.

You do whatever works for you


the same font size at a higher resolution will always be better than at a lower resolution

It could be worse due to fractional scaling. Some people are more sensitive to it than others.
