The display is an Acer S277HK connected to a MacPro5,1 with the Radeon HD 5770 card.
On 10.12 and even 10.9, I can get the correct Retina mode to work: 3840x2160 that "UI Looks Like 1920x1080".
I finally installed 10.13 today and if I do "Default for display", I get 3840x2160 but everything is tiny and impossible to read. It's using the full resolution of the display, but it's not making it "UI Looks Like 1920x1080".
So for now I have to run it at "1080p" which is just regular non-Retina 1080p where it's blurry and not very good, but at least I can read the text.
(Radeon HD 5770 supports the Retina mode I want. I have used it before. The only limitation is that it will run at 30 Hz.)

Tried this in the terminal and it failed to help.

Test. Apparently, editing a post with an attachment fails. You have to make a new post that then gets merged.
Anyway here you can see how Default for Display is a failure, everything is just stupidly small.
