I've encountered it. I work with my monitors sitting at arm's length.

Sitting at arm's length the 23"/24" monitors are *just* to the point where I have to move my head to go side to side to look at everything. This of course is *MY* preference.

I'll take more pixels, but not at a bigger size, just higher density. Don't talk to me about this "Retina" stuff, if you can't distinguish a pixel at "your working distance," then its effectively "Retina" anyway. I also don't really like multi-monitor for a single machine... the XW8400 setup will be my actual first one. Only because I can.

Now sure, sitting 3 meters away from the display... sure, bring on the 55" or 70" 3000+ pixel density. But also give my video at that resolution also... this 1920x1080 crap mapped to higher resolutions is shee and they know it.
