As for the laptops built-in screen 1920×1080 resolution is the only I want, also reasonable colors and preferably anti-glare screen. For external displays it must support 4K unless very cheap.
What is the reason you want resolution that low? I find high dpi and high refresh rates to be just so nice. I prefer smaller text and UI elements, but even when text is large it just looks so much better.
For me, higher resolutions add little for what I do. If I needed to look at super tiny text for whatever reason, like in images, I can use them, but that rarely happens.
My work computer has a 2K screen, BTW. I lower the resolution instead of scaling.
I have a colleague that scaled his monitors up a lot to something that looks hard to use, but he works fine with it.
