Windows 8 and 2880 X 1620 pixel high resolution displays |

I'm considering replacing my trusty Lenovo ThinkPad 520 with a new Lenovo ThinkPad 540 rocking the 3K IPS (2880 x 1620 pixels) screen.
And I am wondering, how does Windows 8 handle this kind of high resolutions when in desktop mode or in general? In Windows 7 if you go higher than 1680 x 1050 on a 15,6" screen or even 17" you sure have a lot of workspace, but the icons, text and other interface features became so small you really have hard time reading and seeing them. And yes, I know you can reduce the resolution, but that really isn't the point is it.
Mac OS X for example handles this kind of huge resolutions amazingly good and so do all the smartphone OS' like Android, iOS, even Windows Phone 8. Did they fix this with Windows 8 and 8.1?

| I think they have complained about Yoga 2's high resolution that is kind of not manageable in desktop mode. But I am not sure how operating systems handle four times higher resolutions.
I mean icons, menus etc.. Maybe drivers from lenovo can do something to make it easier? |

Windows 8 already supports scaling of user interface for high density displays which I believe is limited to 150%.
But this was improved in Windows 8.1. You now also have an option two use 200% scaling which should give you better readability. Also using 200% scaling enables pixel-doubling which provides a clear and crisp appearance for images and text.
So I think if you will use Windows 8.1 you should do just fine.
