Try this: put the phone beside a tablet with a decent resolution. For my own experiment I used my sony xperia z3 tablet compact which has an 8" 1080p screen. I think you will be quite shocked at how much sharper the LG G3 looks. It's quite striking actually. So those charts only mean so much imo.

This is just crazy.
G3 is old school, Rollo Jr and I went to Note 5s.
You're comparing a much smaller (higher ppi) screen to a much larger (lower PPI) one. Of course it looks clearer.
And the devices are right in your hand, way closer than a tv.
Don't you think a better test for me would be to game on my 28" 4K monitor in 4K or in 1080P?
It still wouldn't be a good test, but at least it's apples to apples on screen size. Or I could cmpare it to my 1600p 30" monitor.
Wake me when my cable provider has content.
Rollo my point is that my 8" tablet with a 1080p screen has a "retina" display with slightly more than 300ppi. My LG G3 has 500ppi IIRC. According to your charts, anything more than 300ppi is pointless because our eyes cannot resolve more resolution. But if you try doing what I said, you will see that the smaller screen looks sharper. That means that a 4k display would look sharper than a 1080p one, even if you're not sitting all that close and even if it's not monster sized.
If you are convinced of the value, why don't you buy one? I'm happy with my 60" 1080p tvs.
