Kind of like the whole debate videophiles have with going over 24/30 fps, demanding 60.. 85.. 125.. like their eyes can even register the change (they can't)
Common ground has to be met here somewhere.
Also when you deal with older people, or with simpler media where either the senses decline or the media is low resolution anyways (most pdfs use raster images, but i guess you could use high DPI fonts/vector graphics, but still you won't really notice them, and you can anti alias low-res fonts with a few shades of gray effectively)
I'd honestly like to see color, because news/textbooks/technical manuals make use of it effectively. But that is going to take some while and I assume that when it comes it will be weak =(

I have far less than 20/20 vision and I see a different between, say, newsprint and decent laser output. I can see a big difference between the iPad (pixels) and the new iPhone 4 display.
The Mirasol display supposedly combines a reflective display technology with high refresh rate and colors. No idea what it looks like in real life. I imagine it will be pretty expensive.
