This last point is hard to explain, but the point is, the higher resolution (while not visible to the naked eye) is causing the program to behave differently, and in a more useable fashion.

Further, viewing plan sheets in Terramodel (the CAD software we are transitioning away from), the text will display much smaller than it will on a smaller monitor (it turns into geometric blocks at smaller display sizes on the smaller monitor). I can read all the text on one of these plan sheets without panning or zooming. There is a tangible difference in sharpness and readability of text, particularly at small sizes on screen. PDF's of 18x26 and 24x36 plan sheets look better on this monitor than they do on a 11x17 paper copy from a laser printer. However, in viewing large documents in various software formats, this monitor shines. I do agree that at normal viewing distances you cannot distingush individual pixels on this monitor (I am using Dell P2815Q 28") we had to break out a magnifying glass to do that. Regarding the pixel density being 'unuseable' I would have to disagree based on actual use (survey and mapping use in my case).
