Okay, so I have a 5700xt and a 24inch 1080p monitor and I’m thinking of getting into 4k. However, I’m struggling to understand how it works.
So my pc is currently on 1920*1080. Everytime I Google 4k, the resolution mentioned is far larger. For example 3840*2160. If I change my resolution on windows everything gets either larger or smaller. So is 3840*2160 really zoomed in or out if the TV is also 24 inch? Everytime I Google a picture it suggests you see more of the same image of it’s in 4k. Or is 1920*1080 just the aspect ratio and the pixels are infact really condensed?
Sorry for the confusing paragraph, I’m really struggling to get my head around 4k. Logically, I’m presuming the pixels are condensed into the same space but the ratios are confusing me.
Thanks for the help!

You’re right. More pixels in a smaller space. Ignore the aspect ratios. 4k is mostly a marketing word. We have 1080p because we use the vertical of 1920×1080. With 4k we’re using the horizontal 3840 amd rounding it up to 4000. It would be more accurate to call it 2160p. It’s all kind of meaningless. More pixels in a smaller space, and hence a sharper image. That’s really all you need to know.
