Hello community,
I kind of need to upgrade my computer. Basically I have 2 options, go with a new PC and windows 11 or go with a mac mini with m1 or m2. I have a benq 27" 2560x1440 (2k) pixels which in terms of ppi, text size, screen size fits very well on my windows 10 machine with no scaling needed.
From what I've read around here, the mac OS seems to be using temporal dithering. However, even windows seems to use it also. But given how mac OS handles rendering, I've read that the recommended PPI is 220. This means for 27" it requires 5K. Now my 2k would be around 109ppi which means it doesn't require scaling at its native resolution but many comments say that the text is blurry. Working with text most of the day, having fuzzy text definitely creates eye strain. It seems that the recommended resolution for 27" is at least 4k which would be used as scaled 1440p.
I was wondering if any of you had experience with mac mini/air/macbook with a 27" 2k monitor. How was font rendering? Which OS has bigger changes for eye straing, mac OS or windows 11?
Thank you for your time!
