    My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.

    I'm rawdogging my QHD on 14" at native resolution. 10pt font. Sue me

    100% scaling on 14" 1440p looks fine to me. More screen real estate the better.

    That reminds me that 1440p is probably the worst resolution on a laptop for me. 100%: everything too tiny. 200%: not enough space to fit everything. All in between tends to get blurry.

    I'll wait for a affordable 4k monitor that has the same features like my current one. And the old needs to fall apart first before I get a new one.

    1440p is the perfect laptop resolution IMO. Significantly more real estate than 1080p without being high enough to require scaling. I have a 4K 17" laptop and 100% scaling is unusable there, but yet I have 1440p 13" and 14" laptops and can read 100% scaled text fine.

    I also just got a 32" 4K monitor for my desktop and 100% scaling is fine on it. I have an older 28" 4K and 100% is readable but maybe a bit small.

    You must have very good eyes.

    I would but I'll need to find a loupe to read the text of the lawsuit!
