Does anyone have any experience using hi-res screens with linux? If so, what are the issues, if any ? Is there a distro that has really good support for these kinds of displays?

I know the laptop comes with Win 8.1 which supposedly has decent hi-res screen support but if you wanted to wipe windows and put a Linux distro, which one would be best?



GNOME 3.10 has great support for high-DPI displays. Non-toolkit fixed-size apps will tend to look small, but any modern app will look great.


GNOME 3.10, as another poster said, is absolutely fantastic with high-DPI screens, and looks fantastic. The scaling is finally down.

Only works with GTK at the moment, but if you're using GNOME shell, you probably are only mainly using GTK apps anyway.
