>for desktop use and web browsing it remains vastly inferior to a native 1080p screen
anon everything looks better at it's native resolution I thought this was obvious. 4k screens are standard now because they're fucking amazing, I suggest you leave 1080p behind like the rest of us, that appears to be your weakpoint.

>anon everything looks better at it's native resolution
Maybe, however the main issue specifically for 1080p -> 2160p scaling (also 720p -> 1440p scaling btw), is the kind of upscaling the vast majority of TVs and monitors use.
4K is exactly 4x more pixels than 1080p, with 2x on the horizontal and 2x on the vertical axis. This means nearest-neighbor integer scaling is possible and theoretically it can look as crisp as in a native 1080p panel of same size, or very close.
However instead of doing integer scaling, almost all TVs and monitors add some shitty and unnecessary bilinear interpolation, making the picture blurrier. Obviously you need some sort of interpolation when upscaling resolutions that don't scale to integers (such as 720p -> 1080p, 1080p -> 1440p, or 1440p -> 2160p), but not for 1080p -> 2160p. Only some very high end models use integer scaling for these resolutions (or offer it as an option in the device settings).
It's puzzling because it's something extremely simple to implement in code and features, and integer scaling is computationally cheaper than interpolation.
My only guess is that they do this shit to discourage the goyim from using TVs as PC monitors because monitors have higher profit margins.

One thing you can do is a software solution. Use:

xrandr --output DP-2 --mode 3840x2160 --rate 144 --filter nearest --scale 0.5

and the desktop and applications will run at 1080p but when it will get displayed on the monitor it will get scaled with nearest neighbor to 4k

What the fuck kind of PC does not have 4K-capable output? A Core2Duo?

All my hardware is capable of 4K anon, except my GPUs wouldn't be able to natively render most games at 4K with acceptable framerates but that's obviously the smallest of issues.
In case I go for 4K desktop and upscaling games at source, that's one of my concerns btw. I use AMD GPUs and I've heard AMD drivers often shit the bed when using integer scaling, especially when using borderless fullscreen and alt-tabbing in and out of games

It's not an issue if you use linux: >>108230322
this works on every gpu

Dunno what you are foing but did you try any of the resultions between 1080p and 4K? If not why not? I mean I have shitbox with a GT 1030 on it that does 3840 x 2160 beside a tv downstairs and is fine even on a 4K TV. That to one side, 1080p media generally looks fine on 4K TVs as does most stufff upscaled to 720. Xbox 360s look great on 4K TVs as long as they are set to 1080p, so do upscaled PS2s

I;m not sure what your trying to say. Is 4K generally worth it? NO there is fuck all media or software that takes actual advantage of it that is any good including most rips on the internet the vast majority of media was made at lower resolution. Some TVs do upscaling better than others but the one I have downstairs oin the room is a bog standard normende cheapo

this

it's not an issue on windoze wither, anon is tarded

Try it on 720 and see if the TVs upscaler likes that better than 1080

What sort of autism is this?

there is still no option to set integer scaling or nearest neighbour on wayland and no
>>108230322
it does not work, it displays it in upper left corner
winblows doesnt have this problem & looks way better on my tv, 1650maxq btw

>>108231057
wlroots compositors let you do that, you're probably using GNOME or something

Get a 30-32" 1440p monitor, there's plenty of good panels for those

>using shitty interpolation rather than integer nearest neighbor scaling

Go to your GPU driver panel and disable HDMI Overscan. You are welcome.
