These are one users opinions and experiences.
No products are being recommended.
MoI performs superbly on a wide range of displays, including standard ones.

These monitors are about twice+ the price of standard monitors, but provide excellent visual qualities, as well as more screen real estate, especially for SidePanePalettes.

Windows 10 'Settings' / Ease of access / 'Display' or / 'Cursor & pointer,' selections are very helpful with adjustments.

Text can be made a bit bigger, perhaps 110 to 120 %. This does not seem to change text size in MoI.

Scale should be set to 150%, to avoid items being just to tiny. (125% may also be available.)
Depends on the user...

Resolution should be set to 3840 by 2160.

Cursor and pointer size should be a bit more than the minimun, to avoid losing sight of the cursor. This also applies to Mouse pointer with MoI.

4k Monitors familiar to one user:
Samsung LF32TU87 (Recent Costco ~$500.)
(A similar LG model is said to be slightly better.)
(28" models...very nice also.)
Samsung U28E510

Graphics cards up to the task?
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 9700
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB (recent Dell)
Many others...

Display port cable vs HTML cable? (It depends)

I'll have to try that with my old plasma...

The TV technology is very impressive, even for the modestly priced models.

Hi Brian, thanks for posting the info!

re:

The text size in MoI is set independently from the OS setting, you can adjust it inside MoI under Options > General > "UI size".
