>comfy 50 inch console displays
When you're sat on a couch, your distance to the screen is typically more than double that of a monitor.
This makes your tiny TV over twice as small.
>undersized
moron.
Yes, undersized. If you had a 60" 8k monitor, I could at least respect you, because you have a decent viewing experience despite falling for the high DPI macgay mentality. 32" 4k? You have an oversized 1440p display, because your display is too small to take advantage of 4k.
You are legitimately moronic. 100ppi is unusable these days. May as well just drag out a fricking 320x240 monitor from 1980 at that point, at least that text is sharp compared to the blurry bullshit (You) look at every day.
Just put your phone up to your screen, load the same website, and scale the text on your phone to match the size on your screen. Your phone is going to look CLEARLY better, so don't give me that bullshit either.
I realized I read Ganker much more than play games these days so I bought a 5k display and I couldn't be happier. Now I shitpost in high definition.

I had a 5k screen but it started to get ghosting that looked like burn in, and then my prostitute of a mother scratched it while dismantling my desk while I was moving.
Enjoy it anon, you are on top of the world.
I think the problem is that you don't understand monitor spacing, I assume you have some kind of undiagnosed eye condition that forces you to sit overly close and notice the pixel grid. At a proper distance, this grid is near impossible to resolve. There are huge diminishing returns involved with going beyond 60 PPD, and while I don't think it's a bad thing inherently, I think it's a complete waste of pixels right now. I don't need a fricking 1440p display on my 6 inch phone, when it's sub 720p in terms of what can actually be displayed if I don't hold it an inch away from my face.
I have to get twice as close as I actually sit from my 43" monitor to see the grid. The problem is that you have traded valuable screen real estate for near worthless "sharp text", which I find to be a macgay compulsion given cleartype works great. The only alternative is that you are incredibly incompetent at positioning, and used a 1080p monitor wrong for years before "upgrading" to this shitty 1440p analogue and raving about it to morons.
Just put your phone up to your screen, load the same website, and scale the text on your phone to match the size on your screen. Your phone is going to look CLEARLY better.
If you can't tell a difference then you have shit vision. It's really that simple.
I did it to humor you, like I said, there's no real difference. If I move much closer the benefits of high DPI become obvious, but at desktop distances a 500 DPI display looks about the same as a 100 DPI one. And I'm wearing glasses that correct my vision to be far better than 20/20.
I think the problem is you're a coping PC vegan who plays at a desk in front of a tiny display. Are you too poor to afford a 55 inch OLED? You guys know you can hook your computers up to a TV right?
>55"
From a couch, that'd be tiny. Why can't you afford a proper TV setup? For 4k, they start at 85".
Says the moron that missed the fact the 32" cardboard cutout is BIGGER than his macshit.
32" 4k is far smaller than a suitable 4k monitor, which is 40" minimum. At 32", 4k has to be run with scaling which means you've got a glorified 1440p panel, which makes you about as moronic as a macgay.

Because your living room probably doesn't have the couch 2 inches from your TV.
If you do, and you use your entertainment center as a foot rest, then my bad, your screen is about the right size. But if you're sat 6 feet away reclined on a couch? Yeah, your screen is too small.
>like I said, there's no real difference
Everyone else with working eyes can see the difference ITT. You can try to lie about it, but anyone who tries it will see how much clearer the text on their phone screen looks. It's basic physics.
You haven't controlled the variables. You don't know how far away my screen is. From a distance of about 25", the high DPI phone screen looks clearly better. From a distance of 36", which is how far my eye is from my 4k screen, there's very little visible difference. I don't struggle to tell them apart, but I can't imagine losing useful real estate for such a small gain in sharpness.
I'm not against high DPI as a concept, I just think it's a waste of money and processing power when screen sizes are still so small. Once you get above 80", I'm fine with you jumping up to 16k.

That's why you put your phone up against your screen homosexual. It controls the variable of distance.
All that changes is the fact your phone has far more pixels per inch than your screen does, which is why it looks sharper.
You can keep trying to cope with basic physics but it won't change anything. More pixels = sharper details.

>It controls the variable of distance.
You're a fricking moron, aren't you?
My screen distance and your screen distance aren't the same. The sharpness of my monitor is totally different to begin with, and so your point of comparison can't work, because to me there is very little improvement in sharpness past 60 PPD. At my sitting position, PPD is 70 for my monitor, and 230 for my phone.
Aha, you scream! That's more than 3 times higher, it must be 3x sharper! But the human eye has limitations in terms of what it can resolve, and that caps out about the 120 mark. Still, you screech, it must be twice as sharp! And yes, you're right, it probably is twice as sharp. But when you already have a display that is sharp, and you double the sharpness, there isn't a whole lot of difference. The leap from 30 PPD to 60 PPD is monumental, and that's a doubling of perceived sharpness. But there are diminishing returns to sharpness, and so the difference between 70 PPD and 1000 PPD is maybe 20%. An improvement, absolutely. Is it much of an improvement? Not really.
Again, you really have to run these kinds of tests yourself. You need to disable scaling on your monitor measure out eye position for different PPD, and then you can compare with your phone and see the diminishing returns. Then you can take your shitty monitor back to the shop and buy a real one.
I'm not 6 feet away and reclined on a couch. What now Doug?
Give me an exact distance, eyeball to screen.

Why does my screen difference matter? We're talking about your phone being SIGNIFICANTLY sharper than your monitor even though both are at the same distance.
You can't lie about this because anyone can take their phone out and do the comparison themselves. The only people who won't notice a difference are people who have a high PPI screen (24" 4k, 27" 5k, 32" 8k). For everyone else the phone is sharper, that includes me and my 4k 32" monitor.

>Why does my screen difference matter?
Because your distance to your screen affects its perceived sharpness.
Your eye has physical limitations, you can't resolve infinitely or you'd be able to see people in planes flying overhead. Look, how about you run the same test with your phone, get the size of the text the same, and then go and stand 6 feet back and look at both displays. Then come back and tell me the phone is sharper.
If you seriously think your phone is sharper at 6 feet away, there is no saving you, because you read numbers you don't understand and convince yourself of the difference through placebo effect. You're no better than an audiophile.

My monitor is 6 feet away moron. 32" is still significantly sharper. I know because I have a 22" 1080p and 24" 1080p screen next to it. The clarity difference is night and day and they're all the same distance away.
You are coping hard right now.

Either you can't judge distance or you are running the most absolutely fricked scaling setup known to man.
>Just use your monitor from a moronic distance
Why?
I'm trying to tell if he's delusional or just stupid. The point of standing a mile back is to get everything into the same perceivable sharpness range, because from such massive distances individual pixels get so small that it doesn't matter how low the DPI of a screen is, it'll look no different to one with 5x the DPI because they both wind up with PPDs higher than the eye can resolve, the difference between 200 PPD and 10000 PPD is essentially zero.

Just roll the chair 3 feet back and I can still clearly see a difference between my 4k screen and 1080p monitors. Of course the phone won't look sharper than the 4k monitor, because they're both high(er) PPI screens.

>Just roll the chair 3 feet back
Given you said you sit 6 feet away, and now you're at 9 feet, you're telling me that you can resolve the difference between 261 PPD and 173 PPD?
Or, you know, maybe you're a clueless fricking moron who doesn't know what distance is. Get a fricking tape measure, you stupid wienersucker.
>The point of standing a mile back is to get everything into the same perceivable sharpness range
Why would anyone ever do that normally? No one uses their monitor from 6 feet away.
I'm not saying he should do it normally, I'm trying to see if this guy is mentally damaged or not. He's apparently capable of resolving details beyond the realm of mortals, after all.

The predator has a bigger overlap between the eyes you moron, that means he has a bigger field of view than the prey. Meaning that the predator would need a wider display to fill out his entire FoV, while the prey would be content with his shitty 4:3 monitor.
1080p is just convenient and you only go 1440p and more if you never play old vidya.
There are 1080p patches for almost all old games but there's not always a 1440p and ultrawide patch.
No thanks, I use 4k 32" instead
