OK...I had someone explain this to me on another forum via PM so there was no one to say 'BS' except me and my knowledge is limited so I am not one to call the guy out.
Here are the specs of what I'm using
Laptop is Lenovo Y50
Series Y50
Item model number 59445072
From Amazon...
Screen Resolution 3840 x 2160
Max Screen Resolution 1920x1080 pixels
Graphics Coprocessor NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
Basically...the guy is saying that all I have 4k resolution on is the 'chip' in the laptop, since max res on the laptop is 1080 then that's all I get.
What I don't understand is that when I crank it up to 4k and have text @ 100% I get absolutely TINY icons and text to the point that its unreadable. If that is really 1080 then why is everything so small? He says its interpretation of the graphics card.
I guess my question is Am I seeing 4k on the laptop screen? The specs seem to say 'no.'
look at this pic....

Sorry I am on a Mac and am not sure how to imbed etc...hopefully the pic is available
Its a 1080 dimension on the '4k' laptop screen. If the resolution is REALLY 1080 then why does't the pic fill the screen completely? to me, it looks like it should @ 4k e.g. not filling the screen.
Is this just the 4k graphic card and the 1080 monitor working out something reasonable between the 2 of them?
What's the point of the 4k graphics card? Is it only useful if I use HDMI out to an appropriate monitor?
Hope this makes sense...
