The unaided eye can see quite a lot, actually. If you can make out individual pixels (as squares) that's really really bad; but you can still see a difference in image quality as a whole well past the point of making out pixels.

Printers demonstrate this fine; there's an obvious difference depending on the DPI you choose even in the >1000 DPI range. OK, both paper and printers are unreliable (but so is E-Ink to some degree) but there is certainly a visible difference in quality of an image, for higher DPI values which displays are still far from reaching.

Still, that doesn't mean there should be 1000dpi displays. 350 certainly sounds nice, 100 is a bit low in any case. On the other hand, we're used to pixels by now and lots of code and web pages still work with pixels rather than more suitable units.
