What screen resolution do you use?

Back in 2007 Link started a survey asking about the resolution people use for ArchiCAD:

http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=16436

Almost 7 years have passed and I thought it may be interesting and enlightening to repeat this poll now that available monitor sizes and resolutions have increased dramatically over the last several years.

I have tried to include all kind of resolution variants so please pick the one you have or the one closest. I have not included resolutions with less than 768 vertical pixels as this is the minimum requirement for ArchiCAD. The options at listed in increase of vertical resolution.

If you have several displays, please select the highest resolution you are using.

Of course any other comments are also welcome.

How is feedback and execution in the 2D window?

I am running a new 12 core Mac Pro with dual D700 cards and a Dell 32" 4K monitor.
I get horrible feedback and execution in the 2D window. The 3D window is beautiful and fast.
If I size down my 2D window to 9"x9" I get decent feedback and execution.

Frustrated.

I'm about to replace my old ViewSonic 1600x1200 display, and I'm in doubt if I should take a QHD IPS (2560x1440) or a UHD TN (3840x2160). The most important doubt is about visibility, because "normal" display aren't great if they work in scaled mode, and QHD has slightly higher dpi than my 20"... now it shouldn't be a great problem, but my eyes don't become young. On the other side, retina scaling seems to be great, making lower resolutions usable, so I guess I can use 2560x1440 or 1920x1080 according to the cases. But I need to be sure that an eventual UHD display allows retina scaling with my MacPro 5,1 with nvidia GTX 680 graphic card.
