Oh I'm not suggesting they don't sell, just that they shouldn't. It's like how people will buy an 18MP camera with worse optics instead of a great 12MP camera

It's like how people will buy an 18MP camera with worse optics instead of a great 12MP camera because it has a bigger number. And god forbid they ever need to make a 20x30 print, you wouldn't want to see any pixels in that.
To take the opposite extreme of your 480 x 270 cell phone example: You can get an Xperia Z5 with a 5.5" 4K screen, but that doesn't mean it makes any sense.
- Veedrac 10y ago4k phones aren't taking over the same way 4k laptops are. The best selling flagships don't have 4k screens. The largest push for 4k phones seems to be with VR as a justification, and VR sorely needs pixels. Your comparison with phones would be more convincing if they ever really took off, but as far as I'm aware it never happened.
- wlesieutre 10y agoCan a phone drive that many pixels at a speed that's useful for VR?

- BoorishBears 10y ago4k makes an appreciable improvement on 15" screens, on 13" screens it's much more questionable, but OSX handles HiDPI well enough that I appreciate it
