Yikes. Another great decision by me to avoid 4k gaming. Throw so much money and get so little back.

I've actually thought about getting a 4K monitor... so that I can use 1080p for games and still have 4K for other use. 4K is exactly twice as wide and tall as 1080p, so theoretically is should scale perfectly, right? Not sure if it works that way in practice though, and I still have bad memories of using 720p on a 1080p monitor due to scaling issues, so I'm very wary of scaling issues (although I'm not sure how bad it could be on a 4K monitor anyway).

Unless you go with a big monitor, 32" or above, going 4K isn't worth it, in my opinion. Unless you have perfectg eyesight, at 27" or smaller you'll need to increase the scale/soom in windows to be able to read most text, which kills the point of going for a higher resolution. At 32" things chance, and you can actually start to notice a difference between 1440p and 4K.

That's why there are so few 4K monitors and TVs smaller than 32".
