Let's bring this back to TVs.

Before I bother to write out why you're wrong, can I ask you if my work would be worth it?

Sure it would be worth it

So; apart from what was previously posted regarding the resolution of the eye, you should remember that the tests you are referring to are all about viewing a very heavily antialiased image (such as a movie) and that this doesn't really relate to viewing a rendered image at all.

Second, you need to understand that this has to do with the rhetoric behind Apples retina display - they're about seeing pixels, not image quality.

Third, but not least: a math task: Calculate the resolution of a 1080p image and that of a 720p image. Divide the former by the latter. What do you get, and why is this a problem? As a helping tool, you can calculate the resolution of a UHDTV-image and divide by that of the 1080p one. Why does this not pose a problem?

Best I could do at 00:30, sorry.
