alt Hacker NewsWhat is going on here? Why is everyone in this thread using 'pixels" to mean ppi? It seems unnecessarily confusing or even misleading. I mean blatantly a 6K monitor has more pixels than a 5K or 4K one, regardless of the pixel density.

Yeah, nobody’s saying a 5k monitor has more pixels than a 6k.
I think what people are trying to communicate, but struggling to, is that high pixel count on a huge display can be deceptive.
I think grandparent was trying to say “comparing a low-poi display to a high-ppi display is not a direct comparison.”
