1) DLSS would break backwards compatibility if Nintendo's next console (Aka. Switch 3) doesn't use nVidia technology.

I've tried it and tested it on a 77 inch display, on a 27 inch PC monitor that I sit right in front of too, it looks great either way. I have larger displays in my house than "Joe Average" does. 

2) Then what do we call the smallest display in my home at 85"?

3) Either way, display size itself is actually irrelevant.

If you are viewing your panel from 20 meters away, then someone with a 40" TV and sitting a meter away will be able to perceive more information.

1) Wouldn't the likleyhood be that backwards compatibility would be no-go if they switched GPU manufacturer anyway? Are there recent examples of BC between consoles that don't share the same manufacturers of CPU/GPU? Nintendo moved from AMD to nVidia for Switch and it couldn't play (digital) Wii U games, whereas Wii U / Wii were BC with their predecessors. I realise game format also plays a role in BC, but that wouldn't stop Switch playing digital Wii U games. I also realise that if emulating, you need more headroom between consoles than Switch has over Wii U, due to going from traditional home console to hybrid...

2) I think it's safe to say that you don't qualify as an 'average joe' when it comes to gaming :)

3) I wouldn't say display size is irrelevant, it's half the equation when it comes to pixels per degree (or whatever the actual unit is called). Most people aren't buying a larger TV/monitor so that they can sit further away and end up with the same effective resolution as their current display. Also, unless people are buying a new house to go with their bigger TV, a lot of people simply won't have the option of moving further away from it.
