You don’t really need 2k for prose text or programming anyway. Edit: no https://superuser.com/questions/974045/does-changing-the-screen-resolution-affect-power-consumption

What your link states is that running a 4k monitor at 1080p won’t save you power (it will, but via gpu, not monitor draw). A 1080p monitor will require substantially less power than a 4k monitor, all other factors held equal.
