>1080p is not a synonym of a high density (PPI) display.

Not on a 24" screen, but 11" at 1080p is pretty much there.

Macbook Pro (retina): 2560x1600 at 227 pixels per inch.

1080p: 1920x1080 (assuming 16:9)

Really can't compare. I do not mean I have seen all, but no display I have seen (on notebooks) gets near Apple's "retina display." None. Google is trying with the Pixel.

You left out the DPI number for the 11" 1080p display.

Let me try:

Retina iPad: 264 PPI

13" Retina Macbook Pro: 227 PPI

10.6" Surface Pro: 208 PPI

11" Vaio Duo 11: 190 PPI

There is a difference but it is minor and I disagree with your statements you can't compare or that it doesn't even "get near". You'll be hitting the point of diminishing returns.

1080p at 11" is still low density when you consider all the 4-5" smartphones that have 1080p displays.

By the same token, Chromebook Pixel is low density compared to the 4.7" 1080p HTC One phone or the 9.6" new iPad with retina.
