Are you mixing up size and resolution? I was talking about resolution, not
size.
I found it strange, that the internal display with 4k has a higher resolution
than the external monitor with 1080p. But hey, things have changed with
Smartphones with 1080p displays or even higher resolutions meanwhile ...
