Yet you totally discount the effect of pixel density on aliasing when no one else does. Go figure.
Because this method of "anti-aliasing" is like taking a photo with a professional glass plate camera then printing the result onto a postcard sized print with an amateur enlarger.
In other words it is a ridiculous "solution" to the problem (actually it isn't a solution at all - the aliasing is still there, but the dot pitch is too small for you to notice it along with most of the other fine detail that is also being hidden).
I'd almost compare it to voodoo 1/2 rendering where everything got smoothed to hell (the voodoo "vaseline screen" effect).
If the dot pitch is so high that you can't resolve each pixel with your eye then the monitor is worthless in my opinion. Why? because if you can't resolve each pixel you don't actually have a 4K monitor you have something with an effective resolution of less than 4K.
GStan the Doofus, reinventing the laws of image quality every day to suit his trolling.
You're like some sort of court jester with your obvious trolling.
No one is dumb enough to say it's better to have larger pixels you can actually see- not even you.
PPI has been the goal of displays since there have been displays.
