We are only just starting to see higher ppis in bigger devices (retina macbooks, high ppi tablets, limited ultrabooks).
But even the difference between a 13" laptop and 15" laptop is noticeably crisper when directly compared at the same resolution (1366x768 in recent years).
Even going from an older 1680x1050 22" monitor to a 16:9 1920x1080 is a somewhat noticeable difference.
However when you aren't comparing directly, or switching from one to the other, it is hard to see the clarity improvement.
Looking at a 22" monitor from a retina display makes the fonts look blurry and off but if you start working on that monitor at the beginning of the day it isn't quite so bad.
- Jongseong 13y agoYes, as far as ppis on bigger devices, it feels like there has been much more progress in the past couple of years than in the decade preceding them. The difference is certainly noticeable in direct comparison, though most consumers are not likely to notice except in cases such as poorly hinted text.
