I only run one high-pixel density monitor (either my 24-inch 4K monitor
or 3K 15-inch laptop) at a time, but I can definitely say I'm never
going back to non-high-pixel density panels unless in extreme
circumstances. No, I don't run 1:1 and definitely still have increased
screen real estate compared to a 24-inch 1080p monitor. Just reading
text is a night-and-day difference in favour of high-pixel density.
