Why would UI performance suck if the DPI were different? It’s just raw rendering data pumped out over displayPort – and surely driver only cares about how many horizontal vs. vertical pixels to render. If anything this would be a Microsoft OS problem surely?
FWIW, I haven’t experienced anything like David (I’ve got two different 4K monitors at home – 32” and 24”, plus 1080i monitors, and a whole bunch of different projectors, TV screens and monitors at work) – this is the first I’ve ever heard of this issue.

First impressions, screen is really bright. The Alcantara cover is very different to what I thought it would be (less material-like than I thought). Much lighter and smaller when closed to my original Surface Book (mind you this is the fastest Surface Book you can buy). Curves are really nice on the hands and must less sharp than its Surface Book cousin. I found my Surface Book lacking as dev-box (as I find with a lot of laptops), and UI performance really sucked if you connected an external monitor that wasn’t the same DPI – I suspect this thing would suffer from the same thing.
