    Can someone post a comparison of this? Preferably with pictures. I keep seeing people say that it doesn't look as clear as native 900p but I just can't wrap my head around why that would be the case. With the same size screen physically, wouldn't 4 pixels at 1800p have to be the same size as 1 pixel at 900p? I can't seem to find a comparison googling, although it's possible I just suck at it.

    The reason is because you assume that how the graphics driver or Windows desktop compositor will handle it is by doing pixel doubling, but that is not the case. Scaling with pixel interpolation will occur.

    Is that the case even if you run windows at 900p or is that windows at 1800p and games at 900p
