Yes. 1080p screen density is still so popular. Looking around new laptops it's still the bulk in Windows land, including OLED and ultra high refresh rate monitors. Same for TVs.

Even on macs many are using scaling factors that render close to 1080p.

The issue really would be why YouTube can't bother managing more layouts. It still blows my mind there's only one single YouTube experience per platform, when their viewership basically span the world's population.

On laptops more than 1080p (or an aspect ratio equivalent) is just a waste. Less battery life and everything is too small to see anyway so you have to scale.

Higher DPI is still pretty nice and noticeable for people who spend their life reading/peeking (including comic books, art etc.).

I feel more people would benefit from better screens even for their reports or excel work, but I wouldn't be holding my breath on most standard companies paying for it if there's no OSHA style law mandating it.

> battery life

I think we've reach a decent place, even the Surface Pro line with around 3K displays has double digit battery life for office type tasks.

Because they fired a bunch of engineers, fired/reorged the PMs and whoever is left is working on the AI shlop.
