Reminder about small screen pixel pitch and resolution.

I have talked to a few people lately who say they must game in 4k. It helps to understand pixels per inch. Pixel pitch and density is another thing to learn but gets slightly more complicated.

Here is a summary though of ppi for different sizes and resolutions.

8" screen

720p 183 pixels per inch

800p 189 ppi

1080p 275 ppi

1200p 283 ppi

1440p 367 ppi

2160p (4k) 550 ppi

27" screen

720p 54.5 ppi

800p 56 ppi

1080p 82 ppi

1440p 109 ppi

2160p (4k) 163 ppi

32" screen

1080p 70 ppi

1440p 93 ppi

2160p (4k)138 ppi

I think sensitivity to pixel resolution is subjective but can be very psychological. But I do think people tend to forget that small handheld screens work because they can use lower resolutions and look as good as higher resolutions on bigger screens. The higher resolution screen is a luxury but not a necessity for 10" or smaller.

I know tons of people who were priced out of last nights game. Its understandable given the demand so not an angry post. But honestly could we have sold out a 100k+ sized stadium for last nights game?
