A 10 point typeface on a 15" display panel at 1080p will be a given
size. The same 10 point typeface on a 15" display panel at UHD will be
1/4 the size, appearing as the equivalent of a 2.5 point typeface at
1080p. All the "improved definition" marketing hype in the world won't
make legible a 2.5 point-looking face at reasonable viewing distances.
