Exactly.

And for anyone who struggles to see the pixels on a typical desktop monitor, that's probably because a lot of tricks are used to disguise them. Try turning off anti-aliasing or sub-pixel font rendering and then tell me you can't see the pixels.

So the point of higher pixels is so you can't see the pixels and to prove this point, you tell people to turn off other (cheaper) technologies that already hide the pixels.

There seems to be some faulty logic here. What is the point of the higher resolution displays if the pixels are already hidden with other technologies?

The tricks aren't perfect--antialiasing is blurry for example. A properly high DPI monitor is a thing of beauty--crisp images and text.

Actually in video/ photography these tricks don't work. So BIG DEAL :)

It's like mixing music with $5 ear buds.

More pixels = sharper image. Try putting a printed high-DPI magazine next to your monitor and compare text and images.

Antialiasing typically produce artifacts and somewhat blurry letters.
