2560x1536 is 267dpi, which ain't bad.

Notebookcheck.net also notes it averages 633 nits brightness, which is superb. That's why I ordered one, to be a better outdoor-capable remote terminal than my oled-but-meh-brighness Samsung Book 12. Hopefully I can run a real Linux at least via KVM on the Lenovo someday!!

Yeah it ain't bad, but my desktop has 4K@15.6", which is around 280dpi. Actually smaller gap than I thought, but an 11 inch display is going to be used closer which amplifies it.

Brightness and vividness of colors is a huge plus though, OLEDs are amazing. I love them. But it's gotta be 4K.

Maybe I am just cursed with above-average vision.

There are no tablets that meet your requirements. Apple's iPads are 264 dpi, and have been since the very first Retina tablet.

Probably the reason why I don't have one. Aside from money.

I'm a high dpi/tiny font person too.

I still use font size 14+ even with a very close to face small display. My belief is that higher dpi isn't useful or necessary. I can read font size 8 on a low dp display fine & not complain.

If your display isnt as high dpi as you want, there's almost always plenty of font sizes down you can go & still be fine.

Not tiny fonts. Normal sized fonts, but cleaner. More pixels.

I like 4K because it's an easy 1080p display but with enough pixels to make everything look way better. And everything divides evenly with a perfect 200% scale factor so I don't get any weird rounding errors.

On Android this is much, much less of an issue due to their DIP system, but more pixels still = better, imho.
