The parent's point is that making a larger screen with _the same pixel count_ should be much cheaper, not one with 75x the resolution.

That is if it is the pixels per unit that lead to cost, vs the size of the display itself.

Obviously it is harder to make a 1 inch x 1 inch display with 1 million pixels vs 1000. But maybe the difference from 600ppi to 200ppi is not enough to matter...

I could be wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
