I think the DPI issue is a bit of a red herring, in this instance.
If
you take three different 1920 by 1080 sets, each with a different
screensize, they'll each have a different DPI. But they can each show
the display as good as each other, though you'd use the bigger screens
further away from you. So-called high definition (1920 by 1080) isn't
particularly *high* definition, and doesn't stand too much close
scrutiny.
Yes. That is sort of what I was getting to with the "Pixel Per Degree" being
the
better measure. I found a calculator for that and it has as part of the calculation
the viewing distance.
Anyway, in my short lived experiment (my wife wanted the TV back) I found that while
my laptop and TV were both 1920x1080 the fonts on the laptop were crisp and clear no
matter how close I put my nose to the screen. Not so the TV. Even when I moved to
where we'd normally be watching the TV the fonts looked "strange".
