Historically I've always found it much better to run a monitor at it's 'native' resolution otherwise everything get blurred. Window has a fudge that allows you to change "Set custom text size (DPI)", which helps somewhat to make higher resolution monitors easier to read, however I found that if you push it to more than about 125% you get horrible things happening to the layout of many applications and browser, with thing like Submit buttons sometimes disappearing completely.
I've always been a big fan of higher resolutions but 3200 x 1800 on a 13(?) inch screen is asking for trouble so I'd definitely advocate caution. There was a rumour that the upgrade from Win8 to Win8.1 helped to some extent with the text sizing issue. Does anyone now how much if at all it helped?
