This is with the light OFF. When the light is on, yes, you have a difference in density.

It really doesn't require "exceptional eyesight" to see the difference between a 167 and 300ppi screen. It has nothing to do with density, either. On a 167ppi screen diagonals on letters (eg the curves on a letter "s") have clearly visible jagged edges due to the relatively low resolution. On a 300dpi screen the letters look smooth.
Of course that doesn't make the lower-resolution screen any less "readable", but it's certainly a visible difference.
