> preview at 100% OS scaling on a non-retina display.
Yeah, I feel like anyone who is serious enough to purchase a display like this ought to have a secondary display connected just for previewing their work on a "cheap" consumer device. It should be always available so that it only takes a few seconds to preview changes in the "worst-case" scenario by dragging a window over. It's why (good) phone devs test their apps on multi-year old devices.
This is why people working in pro-audio test mixes in lots of environments. Sure, it sounds great in a treated studio. How does it sound in the car? How about on headphones? What about on the built-in speaker on your phone? You want to hear the mix in the widest and most compromising scenarios to truly understand how well it holds up. Very few people have top-of-the-line hardware and most of your audience presumably don't.
