You have really high standards! I\'s say two things here. One, when I look at ancient photos from old digital cameras I don\'t expect much. I knew this day (2011) was coming so I didn\'t expect anything from them at the time either. The earliest shots you show there I would say are exceptionally good considering. I have a few hundred shots from 1, 2, and 4 mega-pixel cameras each and at the time of photographing I didn\'t expect them to be \"useful\" even a year later. The industry moved MUCH slower than I thought tho so they actually were useful for several years.
The second thing I wanted to say was that with a 330 PPI screen I think there\'s almost zero chance of the affects from today\'s AA filters showing up at all. That\'s pretty much the same thing as if we were to scale one of our images to 30% and show it on a standard monitor. Furthermore unless there are bionic eyes in store for us in the future humans are limited to about 85 PPI at a distance on one meter so we may not see higher density screens in the future. Remember that with hand-held devices there\'s two things at play. One, we hold them much closer than one meter and two, they need to fit more information in a smaller space. 300 or 400 PPI is meaningful for hand-held screens or EVF\'s and such but for desk and wall monitors it\'s pretty much a total waste. I can\'t really see a future in which DT monitors are commonly over 120 PPI.
