Why does no one care? There isn’t a decent iPad or android tablet with a PPI around that of an iPhone? Do people just not care? The same is true of MacBooks and other laptops. This entire generation isn’t holding companies to a higher standard? Why? How do no people care about PPI? Its pixels per inch? If I want a display with good PPI I shouldn’t have to buy a fucking VR headset. It fucking sucks dude. Is no one going to do anything about it? Do consumers just not care?

Tablets are for kids whose parents don't love.
Real men use a laptop or desktop.

PPI for laptops sucks. So my argument still stands. Do you care about PPI?

The pixel-per-inch (PPI) of a 4K display varies depending on the screen size. A 27-inch 4K monitor typically has around 163 PPI, while a 32-inch 4K monitor has around 138 PPI. Larger screens will have lower PPI, and smaller screens will have higher PPI. For example, a 65-inch 4K TV might have around 68 PPI.
Here's a breakdown:
27-inch 4K monitor: ~163 PPI
32-inch 4K monitor: ~138 PPI
65-inch 4K TV: ~68 PPI
Key points about PPI and 4K:
Higher PPI = Sharper Image:
A higher PPI means the pixels are packed more densely, resulting in a sharper, more detailed image.

Im talking about PPI, something else entirely.

As panel size increases, so does the viewing distance.
With a 27" monitor you may be 13.5" away but for a 65" TV you need at least 32" distance to properly see it and do to that you can no longer discern finer details. Meanwhile a VR headset is right in front of your eyes and has to be as sharp as possible.

I understand. But people should get tablets or laptops with PPI of iPhones eventually, right? Better technology. Your argument sounds like it was designed by corporate lobbyists that don’t want to pay for the expensive panels.

Thank you for the response tho, no one seems to know what the fuck I’m talking about or why I care. I just want tech to get better, and a part of that is tablets and laptops with PPI in the 500s or higher.

Apple will tell you that you’re not going to hold an iPad as close to your face as an iPhone so the pixels don’t need to be as big tiny
What’s the use case for @3x pixels on an 11" iPad?

How much are you willing to pay for a panel?
Most people don't even have 4k monitors even though they don't cost a whole lot.
An 8K monitor Dell Ultrasharp UP3218K with 280ppi costs $4000 and has been available for two years now.

Yeah but look at that terrible PPI. Wake me up when it’s 500PPI. The Apple Watch can do it. The iPhone mini had high ppi. We can do it. People need to get on board with higher ppi

What monitor are you using to post here? It's going to have worse ppi, even an iPad Pro has less. You need incremental upgrades instead of suddenly tripling the ppi.
Would you be willing to pay one million dollar for a 500ppi monitor?

Diminishing returns. Your eyes won't see any difference between 4k and 8k for a 15 inch screen at normal viewing distances.
Also power consumption would be ludicrous, battery life will suffer a lot.
And gpu power won't scale to deliver smooth smooth scrolling at that resolution.

I'd rather have a 4k monitor than some shitty phone that's too small to see anything on.
Apple discontinued the iPhone mini because they didn't see a market for it.

High DPI is great but 500 is excessive. Around 300 is good enough. On my phone I can't even tell the difference between full resolution and the lower res power saving mode.

I use a 42" OLED TV as a computer monitor. It's my arm's length from my eyes.

yeah i'm a ppi enjoyer but what additional benefit does it do once you cross the threshold of not being able to discern pixels?

Mac's and iPads are settled on a 218-260ppi range as "Retina" class as they are viewed 18-36 inches+ away vs the phone that is usually within 12-24 inches of the eyes, hence the boost to 326-460 ppi. Hell, even a 32" 6K has 220 ppi, man, and that's the best we have to look forward to until 8k 32" are reasonably available, and that's only jumping from 220ppi with 6k 32" to 275 ppi with 8K 32". The tablets are the least of our issues. Is the performance and battery cost of the iPad Pro running at 3840x2880, worth the PPI gain up to 330-370? probably not.

I need something that can display at least 3840x2160, my 24" monitor does that for me.
Since I see a foot away from it I wouldn't really benefit from higher dpi.
