Yes but with 200% scaling you now only have the screen real-estate of a 1080p screen.

At 4k I can have 4x 1080p windows open and visible at the same time.

At 1080p at most I can have two windows open side by side. Some programs will fit into a quandrant at 1080p, but others wont. For example, at 1080p you can have 4x task managers open, but spotify/discord won't fit in the quandrants.




The point of hi DPI displays is not screen real state.


For some of us it is...


If you have a 43'' 4K monitor it's not HiDPI anymore.
