Pixel pitch was holding pretty steady for years & years at around 90-100 per inch diagonally; there was a pretty direct link between a screen's physical size and the number of pixels it contained, and the gradual increase in pixel counts was associated with a gradual increase in physical sizes. My latest round of shopping for new gadgets, though, has turned up a bunch with much higher pixel density, often around twice as many pixels as predecessors of the same physical size.
How does this work out in displaying content? For graphs & text that are generated on the fly, I understand that it would reduce aliasing a lot and there wouldn't need to be an effect on size because you just set the size you want... but images are stored at fixed dimensions in pixels.
For web pages, that means you'd get text the same size as before (because that's the size you set it to) but tiny images compared to the text right next to them. Do those of you with these newer high-density monitors just accept the shrinkage of images, or do you find a setting somewhere that scales them all up to maintain the originally intended on-screen size and relationship with text?
For image editing, there are limits on how much you can zoom in if you want to see things on the scale of pixels, and whatever that maximum zoom level is, it's going to be a multiple of the original actual image size. With the image-shrinkage on a high-density monitor, that means you essentially can't zoom in as much anymore; the 8x or 800% zoom level is shrunk exactly as much as the original 1x/100% level is. Do you just deal with the loss of zoom ability when trying to see things at pixel level? Are you just supposed to not even try to do that at all anymore and just act as if the image weren't even made of pixels at all?
