Indeed. Also, 7575 x 4750 x 24bpp = ~96MB RGB framebuffer.

Additionally:

DPI of my 2011 laptop: 115dpi.

DPI of my 2011 monitor: 100dpi.

DPI of my 1997 monitor: 90dpi (100dpi possible at a rather ugly 60Hz)

DPI of my 1993 monitor: 91dpi

With this progress (or lack of) in mind, I think the pixel will be around for a while yet. Indeed, (thanks to LCDs) outside a few small-scale high-DPI places, pixels are more obviously visible than ever before! So why people are so sure that the pixel grid can just be ignored, I'll never know...

IBM once produced 204dpi desktop screens (T220/T221, 3840×2400 in 22.2")
