Interesting, at what viewing distance is a 4k monitor 70 PPD?

From what I've seen the common advice for monitors is that 5k is the ideal resolution for a 27" screen and 4k is a little bit less sharp if you're looking closely.

Apple's displays basically hit the mark exactly.
That's why I'm curious just how good the resolution can be on the Vision Pro. If it takes a 5k monitor at, say, 2ft away which covers maybe 30 degrees of your field of view vertically to be truly "retina", then surely a 4k display 3 inches away from your eye that covers ~120 degrees of your field of view is not quite there.

But you also have lenses that are stretching out the screen to cover your periphery where it can be much less sharp so it's not exactly comparable.
