4K on laptops: is it worth it

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
straightforward single answer to this pretty broad question
those aspects in our discussion of the merits (or lack thereof) of 4K displays.Size matters4K is a very high resolution, cramming 3,840 x
2,160 pixels into the display
anything smaller than that)
factor as you scale the screen down
important point is not to be dazzled into thinking 4K is the be-all and end-all of image quality
Far from it
Aside from resolution, there are plenty of other factors that make a good display
Vivid colors (and indeed color accuracy) and punchy contrast, brightness levels, wide viewing angles, and the overall panel quality are all

important.That said, if you get a 4K display which also delivers in terms of color, contrast and so forth, it can provide a gobsmacking
viewing experience
seriously jaw-dropping entertainment experiences available in that respect
your mind, but could equally be a serious blow to your GPU
Remember, the notebook has to deal with 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, which is a lot more work than 1,920 x 1,080, and puts a serious strain on the
play contemporary games (and even the less demanding ones will still need a good bit of oomph to run decently at 4K)
a potential recipe for stuttering disaster).And even then, if your game is running at a decent frame rate, you may not be able to escape the
thought in the back of your mind that if you were on a lower resolution, the action would be running even smoother
Sometimes, particularly in competitive multiplayer titles, having the frame rate super-smooth so you can aim better is much more important
favor of a lower resolution (1440p or even 1080p), perhaps with a higher refresh rate of 120Hz or 144Hz allowing for higher (smoother) frame
battery longevity can be a hard enough battle as it is.Cost considerationsFinally, a further downside is that a laptop with a 4K screen will
almost certainly be a good deal more expensive than one with a lesser resolution
You can see this clearly illustrated in laptops where a 4K display is an option, because when you add it via the notebook configurator,
would be to proceed with caution when considering a notebook which runs with such a display
(even the Windows 10 desktop, now that the OS handles scaling UI text and icons more adeptly these days).On a final note, we'd like to
(different-sized) 4K notebooks at a shop if at all possible.This article is brought to you in partnership withWbEJxxJSqi7osY7oiuffkm.jpg#
