This is great; as another pointer, http://clarkvision.com is my go-to source for beautiful astrophotography with technical explanations. Look for astro gallery and tutorials if interested

#15The image is 9000 x 9000 pixels. Future proofing for my own-it-someday 8K monitor background.
Is it just me or are 4k monitors running in 1080p worse than straight 1080p monitors?
Yes, since neither GPU drivers nor most displays currently support integer scaling. See http://tanalin.com/en/articles/lossless-scaling/ for more a more in-depth explanation.

I mean would the display need to know - just GPU drivers should be able to send a 4k signal that has 4px squares each of one colour? Interesting though.
