Let's compare the PPI of 844x475 on a 6.2 screen to the PPI of your average 1920x1080 24" PC monitor.
844x475 at 6.2" is 156 PPI
24" 1080p PC monitor is 91 PPI
Wow! how could this be? I was under the impression that such a resolution could never look good!
But wait! There are upscaling artifacts because the screen is 720p!
Yep, of course there are. The AA masks them. It doesn't completely remove them, of course, but it masks them quite nicely. So it doesn't look perfect but it does look fine.
And just for laughs let's see the PPI of the Switch's screen at its native 720p resolution:
Switch's screen at 720p is 236 PPI
And, just for fun again, let's add a 50" 4k screen into the equation:
50" 4k screen is 88 PPI
W-what? But I thought a 720p screen was unacceptable in 2017! What's this? How can the size of a screen possibly affect the resolution needed for it to look good? Impossible! Unacceptable! The screen should be 1080p! My phone is 1440p!
I am aware you sit much farther back when using a 50" 4k screen, but it doesn't remove the fact that the PPI on the Switch screen is perfectly good for its particular viewing distance
Not sure what you are getting at with this. Are you saying that a 6.2 inch screen is better than a 50 inch plus 4k screen? What about HDR? And what brand? Vizio, Sony, LG Oled, Samsung? Oled or LED? FALD or Edge lit?
A handheld NEEDS to have a higher PPI because you are looking at it closely.
OT All that being say this game doesn't run at "native" 720p on the switch, let alone the OG Ps4.
