In contrast with the MP camera thread, with improving tablet display 
resolutions, where is the line crossed that my old eyes do not see the 
image improve and I want to have a (pocketable) 30" display with old 
eyes resolution? More and more there will be a division between the 
young and old, between mobile and stationary. The last group is growing 
in percentage up to 2035 over here, it is not different in the US and 
Japan.

I do not expect that image editing improves when less experienced users 
work on 10" displays in all kinds of environments. Not to mention the 
lack of color management. Sure there is a 40 MP Nokia phone to feed that 
image stream and I will not object to make a 3x4' print at the end of 
that stream but to consider it as a real alternative for what we have 
already? Anyway more likely that 99% of the images never will be 
printed. Which makes it off topic here.
