Hello,
If you're on a 4k monitor but the text is too small and you decide to go for say a 2k resolution, would this affect enjoying 4k movies and stuff like that? What are the ways to know if something is actually rendering 4k?
For instance, I know if my desktop res is 2k but start a game 4k, the game will render a proper 4k window on accelerated drivers so no issues here. Also any media player that uses hardware acceleration.
But what about youtube on Chrome? I'm not very informed on HTML5 video so with a 2k res, a 4k video would be a downsampled 4k@2k or truly playing at 4k? I think the canvas is accelerated but I'm not too sure if what I'm seeing is really 4k on my 4k monitor or 4k downsampled to whatever the desktop res is.
In the end, would it all boil down to "If the application is using hardware acceleration, and you're doing 4k on a 4k monitor, fullscreen, it will display 4k, disregarding your desktop resolution"?
Thanks for your time
PD: I'm not looking for workaround to make text bigger while keeping the resolution 4k. I just want someone who knows the answer to the question above.
