1080P Gaming on 4K Screen
Hi all,
I am considering buying the new 17" with the 4K screen ( mainly cause you can only choose the top I7 with that one ) but I am fearfull of how the screen will look when I play games in a non native resolution.
I looked online and only found 2 posts about this blatently contradicting each other. Obviously the 1070 or 1080 wont support gaming in 4K for long.
Please respond if you have the 4k screen

I have the 2015 17 with the 4k screen. Provided you are sitting about 2 -3 feet from the screen you can not really notice the bilinear blur associated with 1080p scaling because the pixel density is so small.
So, unless your eyes are absolutely perfect I wouldn't worry too much about it. Its never going to look as crisp as native 4k but it looks far better than any kind of scaling on a lower DPI screen.
