Why would you need AA at 280ppi? At sane viewing distances, I would imagine that 99% (maybe 100%) of the population lacks the visual acuity to benefit from >28

Where does your 800ppi claim come from?
- Keyframe 10y agoYeah, it depends on viewing distance, of course. there was a calculation which from 800 came out as a number, which I forgot and can't produce atm. I remember the output. Same as in print when printing fine detail, such as maps, no less than 800 dpi ever (not related, but there was also a calculation which I forgot, but remember the output).
- dpark 10y agoPrint and monitors aren't directly comparable. Print needs higher DPI because people will literally hold a map up to their face to look at fine detail. You just zoom a digital map instead. If you aren't holding your face up to your monitor, you don't need 800dpi. The original iPhone "retina" display was 326ppi and that was assuming a 12 inch viewing distance. For monitor viewing distance, you'll be 20 or more inches away, making 280ppi plenty for the vast majority of people.
