I'd rather have 1440p since I can't normally see the difference. In exchange for less density, can I get a wider color gamut like DCI-P3 or AdobeRGB?

Even on a gaming laptop I'm usually playing at half-resolution, so I like 2160p or 2400p because for gaming that would be 1080 & 1200. Normally I'm running a text-dense setup where >1440p is very nice. :-)

1440 is good enough for sharp text, but you need to use fractional scaling to get reasonable ui sizes. Better to get 4K and use integer scaling.

On a 1440p screen at 14 inch you end up at 210 dpi which is 2x integer scaling.

Everyone puts in 1080p or 4k panels at 14 inch and both require fractional scaling. It makes no sense why so few vendors opt for 1440p.

[akvadrako → Joeri]

You aren't making any sense. 4K on 14 inches is 314 dpi. If you want 105 dpi equivalent that's almost exactly 3x.

Personally I find that makes things too large, but in no way does 1440p have an advantage in terms of fractional vs integer scaling.
