Then take viewing distance into account and show the results, it looks better as long as you don't have it at 5cm of your eyes.

Effectively just divide the PPI's

6.2" @ 600p = 197.3 PPI
50" @ 1080p = 44.06 PPI

197.3/44.06 = 4.47

So if you're viewing the TV from over 4.47 times the distance of the switch, the TV will be better quality.

In practical terms, if you play a game on Switch at 600p at 30cm distance. Then to get better image quality on a 1080p 50" TV you only have to be over 134cm away from the TV.

So you need to be 4.5 times further from your TV to have the same quality, even furhter when we talk about 900p (like this one) and this is with a 600p game, most switch games are 720p docked, so most switch games look better than 900p-1080p games on big TVs as long as the TV isn't very far.

Also when you play Switch on tabletop mode you don't play it at 30cm, more like 60cm.
