To show my ignorance ... the "4K" refers to 3,840x2,160-pixel resolution, right? 

Do you have a pointer to the 13.3 inch model? (I ask because I was hoping they published the "dots per inch". (instead of me doing the division :) I saw some "20 inch" ones that boasted "230ppi".

Moving to SWT for initial comment. 

SWT Team, do we (or should we) start to specify "min/max resolution supported"? 

At the speed at which high resolution monitors are hitting the market, I would think there is not much we can do with the icons, unless we switch completely to SVG icons? 

I am less sure what can be done with the font scaling.
