The summary is slightly incorrect. What the OP is complaining about is actually the DPI, not pixels per se. He wants more pixels on a screen of given size, not larger screens.

"Surely there has to be something wrong with people who can resort to such over-the-top language, overreacting so spectacularly to something so trivial".
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
