Your analogy is flawed as is your claim on eyesight. The screen is only 150 ppi in colour. It's got higher mono resolution but with coloured artefacts that are worse the sharper your eyesight is. It's inferior to a mono Clara or Libra, even in monochrome.


Which 35" is clearer and brighter compared with 55"? Are you thinking of an ancient 35" CRT and a 480 line 55" plasma screen, maybe with VHS or DVD?

Your post suggests you have not read many comics or graphic novels on decent larger colour screens and you know little about TV or monitor screens and content.

A VHS will often look much worse on larger than 32". So will most SD Analog broadcast NTSC.

A good quality "PAL" DVD (576 lines vs only 480 lines "NTSC") made from scanning a film at 4K or 2K will upscale very nicely on a 4K 55" and look far better than on a 35" SD or HD screen.

Some BD are made from master used for DVDs rather than 4K scan of film (rule of thumb is to scan at twice distribution resolution) so are barely better than upscaled "PAL format/region" DVDs (576 lines). Other BD are from scans at least twice HD resolution and are noticeably better at 55". You won't see much difference, if any, using a 32" TV at 2m viewing distance between SD, HD and 4K on a 4K screen.

A 35" screen is rare. The 32" is the common small size, with 37", 40", 42" etc as larger sizes.
many 32" and 37" TV sets are cheap low end and only so-called HD Ready, i.e. 720 or 768 rather than 1080 lines (HD).
North America and Japan SD is 480 lines (Interlace from Film has 3:2 pull down artefacts, hence component & progressive DVD players)
Europe, Russia, Australia & Africa SD is 576 lines with no pull down artefacts on interlace, hence component & progressive was rare before HD.


Also LCD monitors / TVs / laptops from 20 years ago of any size or resolution are rubbish compared to the best screens now (6" to 75"), or CRTs then. Plasma were always fuzzy due to being only 480 or 576 lines, even if sold as HD Ready (the only Plasma screens I saw in Irish shops were abysmally poor being 42" to 55" and only 480 lines. Irish TV was 625 Analogue (some 405 line downsampled 1962 to 1985 in areas with UK reception) and SD Digital (Analogue ended 2012) is 576 lines. Most is now HD (1080 lines).

NTSC VHS about 300 horizontal resolution and 480 lines interlaced. North America and Japan (Interlace from Film has 3:2 pull down artefacts).

PAL VHS (Europe, Russia, Australia & Africa) SD is 576 lines with no pull down artefacts and also about 300 hoizontal resolution.

VHS Colour horizontal resolution about 1/3rd of broadcast, hence colour smearing.
The S-VHS increases horizontal mono resolution to about 500, hence Film to mono PAL is nearly as good as cheap DVD, but not NTSC.
