Why I RETURNED My 4K Monitor.! macOS IS SCALING (SOLVED)

macOS renders the screen at 5120 x 2880 to a virtual buffer, then scales it down by 2 x to achieve 2560 x 1440. Display scaling — this method of rendering the screen at a higher resolution and then scaling down by 2 x — is how macOS can render smoothly at many different display resolutions

NOTE: You can use this website to calculate the PPI for any monitor by entering your monitor resolution and monitor diameter as an example a 5K monitor 27 inch 5120X2880 will give you a 217.57 PPI (exactly in the safe zone 220PPI for a Retina display 1440p after scaling as APPLE recommendation)
