    What is the use case for 127000 PPI?
    AFAIK retina start about 450 for phones, that are already pretty close view.
    The closest id probably VR that can utilize 1000+. (AFAIK 2000 is REALLY good!)
    But that leaves more than a factor 60 that I can’t see much of a use case for?
    VR can maybe use 5000, I seriously doubt it will make any difference above that.

    So where is more than 5000 necessary?

        That’s it! An ultra fine web of microscopic lights simulating the Christmas tree shrouded in fog.
        They have to hurry up and make that, I want to see what that looks like.

        What a cool idea. 👍

      Non-human use cases, would be one. Like, having the ability for machines to “see” highly detailed imagery via camera. Just spitballing. My eyes are shit, so a screen that cool will never be of use.

        Maybe, but it would be more logical to simply bypass screen to eye camera, to just transmit the signal from the original camera directly.
        But hypothetically yes, that could possible be a use in a future scenario.

        You can’t make lenses to focus properly at shorter distances I think, or you would get an extremely narrow FOV.
