I feel the same way - though, it's all about DPI. A 1080p display at 22" is not very good, but a 1080p at 13" is very very nice. I have a 13" retina Macbook Pro with god knows how many pixels, and I'm left with a choice between full HiDPI where everything is giant, or "scaled" mode where the GPU renders even more pixels and then scales it down. This is because the UI components in OS X are bitmaps, and there is a set of 2x HiDPI bitmaps, and a set of 1x regular ones that are too small to read on a retina display. I use the scaled mode where it renders everything as if I had a giant monitor and scales down the whole screen to a normal size. Since I have the 1st generation 13" retina, it understandably struggles at times with its Intel GPU. It does look great, though. I recently got a Dell Chromebook 13" with a 1080p IPS display, put Debian on it over Chrome OS, and now it's all but replaced my Macbook for everyday use. Everything is a decent size, and there is no need for the OS to do any scaling or anything weird, so everything works nicely. I mainly got it so that I wouldn't have to lug such an expensive laptop on the subway, but I've really grown attached to it. The DPI is high enough that I can't really discern the pixels, IPS displays tend to look great, and I forgot how much I missed using Linux while I was on OS X. :)
