Fretting over actual pixels is counter to trying to stay display-independent, as a web site ought to. The actual thing to worry about here is apparent DPI. A TV at 1080p viewed from ten feet away needs much larger text than a monitor at 1080p viewed from two feet away, and the variance in cell phone resolutions is even more drastic. I had hopes that all these different resolutions/DPIs/sizes for screens would stop designers trying to force a pixel-perfect layout into a browser, but the end result seems to have just been "CSS media queries".
