Resolution is dictated by the receptors in the eye. It differs from person to person
Interesting point though is that there is a finite resolution and our brain even suffers from the old anti aliasing problem and jaggies from time to time.
Go to any buiding with air vents on the top and back away eventually you will reach a point where the light image of one line of a single vent strikes the back of your eye in two different places. ie two receptors are firing the light strike !
The brain doesnt know what to do so just presents all the information at once. Result the whole vent begins to resemble a TV screen thats not tuned in. Ie snowstorm.
You need to be about half a mile or more away from the vent for this to work.
