Hi guys.

I am trying to understand how the "scaled resolutions" work.

I tried out real 5k. Way to small... right now I am using the "Looks like 3200*1800" and it is really nice. - The default option is way to "fat".... :)

But when I try to playback a 2160 or higher video file in VLC, it suggest my screen resolution (via Video->"Fullscreen Video Device"->"Screen1 (3200x1800).

- So - am I not getting the full resolution, if I play back this 3840x2160 video in this scaled mode???



Likewise, with the 3200x1800 mode in Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC, I have a lot more space than with my old 1920x1200 Dell external display. - but same question - am I missing out on resolution?
