I have a 4k monitor so YMMV but in terms of image quality they should be about the same.

The only things I can think of are to use a teeny, tiny min shading rate, use whatever BB says is appropriate for filtering under the circumstances (although personally, I don't use filtering at all) and... Snarly's Scene Fixer and EZ Skin scripts. Use IDL when appropriate (outdoor with a skydome, for example), don't use IBL, enable SSS and for reflections etc, ensure you have 6 Raytrace bounces. Textures shouldn't appear pixelated unless you're doing something daft with the textures, such as compression or some kind of harsh filtering.

Oh, and render huge. Get used to long waits. Make sure you're using Bicubic when you shrink images in Photoshop.

Final thoughts: Is your display set up properly? Are you saving your renders as PNG? If not, why not?
