Can i play games on 1080P on Lenovo y700-15 4K edition?

[RevoX86]

I once saw a video from linus reviewing another lenovo model which is y50 4k, however from his video he shows that turning down the settings of the games to 1080P will create big black borders around the game and the game window will look small, has this been fixed? cause im planning on buying around next week, and if so how will it look like playing 1080p on a 4k display? and is it worth it for programmers? or should i stick with 1080p edition?

The gpu chip it ships with is GTX 960m just for your info need and a intel skylake i7 6700HQ with 16GB of ram. (worth it?)

Playing 1080p on a 4K is not that good of an experience. I have a 4K screen and when I set it to 1080p everything just looks blurry and lacking detail regardless of the quality preset. Better stick with the 1080p version of the laptop.

You should be able to modify the scaling settings however you want in the NVIDIA control panel to control whether you have a black border or not.

and since we are talking about a laptop (which i assume you have a monitor) how much would that blurriness do you think will be noticeable on a 4k laptop monitor, which is like 15.7 inch?

Yes, I have a 28'' monitor. On laptop... its hard to say, but factor in that you won't be cranking the details way up too even in 1080p. The GTX 960M won't be able to handle that.
