What I mean is what is the point in having extremely high pixel density in a small screen. Wouldn't that be more annoying then useful. If I had a 2500x1500 display I would want a 45" or larger screen.
 
 

It's kind of cool really, at normal viewing distance for a laptop 1080p and 720p is easily distinguishable, not to mention the added screen space for opening 2 documents side by side, more viable columns on tables, essentially it's about displaying more information.

Or one could simply need more pixel and not have enough desk space, hence a higher pixel density.

We still have ways to go, 17 inch 1920x1200 is about 130 pixel per inch, at a laptop viewing distance, the resolution of the human eye is about 300 pixel per inch, which also happen to be the pixel density of a very high quality print photo print.

The human eye is 300 pixels per inch? Aweome I didn't know that, with perfect vision I assume ^^

It also depends on the viewing distance but but 300 ppp is a good estimate for a monitor screen. Essentially it also means that the iPhone 4's Retina display works as advertised as long as you don't get too close. And that's also with a normal visual acuity.

Those are fine after suitable post-processing.  I watch those from like 5' away on my 42" 1080p TV and the bitrate is the least of the problems that TV has...

Nah I am not a picture/video phile. I don't care about the quality of a screen as long as the color is fine and it is 720p or higher. I also prefer bigger screens. If I could have a 30" computer screen I would. Keep in mind I project everything from my laptop though. I currently am desktop less.

What do you call appropriate post processing?
DVD's 480p upscale is still pretty cool but DVD movie to 699 MB xvid to large screen is horrible IMHO.

Do those filters bring something to a 720p/1080p video?

Not that I've noticed.  Most of that is probably because most HD stuff is better produced and distributed at higher bitrates so its not really needed as much and because of the low radii of the effects that are useful for SD make it not very noticeable on 720p and I have to turn it off for 1080p because it turns into a slide show for reasons I mentioned above.  If you had 720p (or 1080p stuff and something faster than a single core on my 3.9ghz i7 920) at a low bitrate then it could probably help if you made a different preset for those resolutions.
 
Its not magic, but it turns a noisy pixelated mess into something smooth with a gentle blur.  I much prefer that instead.

I feel silly promoting high pixel density and high quality music... and listening to 8bit and playing old-school games at the same time.
