Size of my app's window on different screens?

Hi all,
I get how to use Auto Layout to position things in my app's window, but what about the window itself? On my 11-inch Air's screen, I'm sure the default of 240x360 (that might not be right, I'm not looking at Xcode just now) is fine. However, what does that look like on the 27-inch screen of a 5K iMac, or even a 17-inch Pro? Does everything scale way up, and it all continues to look just fine, or should I detect some kind of resolution/screen size and do something different? On iOS, you have size classes, but I don't think something similar exists for OS X. What are the conventions for dealing with Mac screens, from the small to the massive, to say nothing of external displays? Or am I worrying over nothing? Thanks in advance.

Have a great day,
