   4K native resolution at 27" is too tiny for me. so i set the sway/wayfire scale to 1.5. but this makes my intel+amd desktop slow/stuttery in weird ways on some apps (maybe xwayland related?), and xwayland apps are a bit blurry (fractional scaling doesn't work properly). so i guess i need something in between 1080p and 4K at 27" to work comfortably. my EIZO had something like QHD IIRC (2560x...)

     @mntmn I can also recommend 1440p at this size if you cannot find a software fix

     @mntmn I personally like 4k on 28", because that is exactly 4times 1080p on 14". I.e., pixel density remains consistent for my laptop + extra screen. :-)

     @mntmn im a QHD @ 32" kinda guy muhself.
     4k makes app native res wonky on too many things and scaling is fickle.

     @mntmn good call. 👌

     You get loads of desktop room at 2560x1440 and no scaling problems. I’m disappointed 4K became the PC HiDPI “standard” instead of 5K (which equates to 2560x1440 again with 2:1 scaling).
