Do you hold your 32" monitor the same distance from your face as you hold your smartphone?


I fail to see how that is relevant as I neither introduced nor advocated for smartphone pixel density?


Then what was the intent of your comment? There's no point to making a 400dpi 32" display (even if that were remotely physically possible).

Pointing out to the other guy that their reply made no sense?

Thank you captain obvious.

You do know that there are densities between 130 and 400+ though, right?


Exactly, that’s the point


That’s not a point it’s nonsense thought termination.

There’s a gulf between 130 dpi and 460 dpi, and in that gulf there are densities which stop being poor at monitor viewing distances.

That smartphone densities are excessive for that purpose does not make middling standard densities good.


I have an LG OLED C3 as a monitor, 42". I may be able to distinguish separate pixels if looking at a '.' or something like that (a stuck pixel happened for a few weeks, which I could notice on a white background).

But the density is definitely enough for text for the distance required for such a screen size. At least when using grayscale AA, because OLED subpixel...
