If anything posting this survey just shows little OP (and the folks over at ResetEra) understands about basic PC terminology. Primary Display Resolution is your Windows Display resolution.

There is a reason why not many people have their Windows display at 4k. I'll show it in a picture.

There. See that lovely Windows 10 (I hate it, 7 for lyfe) GUI on a 4k resolution? Can barely read the text. It's worthless. While yes, there are ways to make the display 'normalized' it's much easier to just set it to 1080p since it's so much easier on the eyes. Hope y'all console folk learned something!

 

What do you mean it's easier to set it to 1080p? Literally right on top of resolution is display scaling, it takes no longer to change scaling than to change your resolution to 1080p.

This. As for me, I'd personally rather use 4K outside games and use 1080p in games, just because I get more space to work with in 4K but I don't need it in games. I do need the better-running games though, which is why I'd still be tempted to use 1080p in games even if I had a 4K monitor (which I don't, because I don't feel like getting a ridiculously expensive graphics card which I'd need for games to look decent on that monitor).
