Not really. My visual acuity is about average at close range and pretty poor at long range. Most people I know have better eyesight than me. And I'm talking about normal use at arms length, although being shorter than most people I probably have shorter arms too.

Interestingly the same report also said 1080p is pointless over 720p on screens under 32 inches for tv use.

Yeah, but said TV is assumed to be at 10 foot from the user, not 1 foot.

On my monitor which is 22inch 1680x1050 nothing feels pixelated if its at that resolution, and of course this is much lower DPI than a high end smartphone.

Chances are your monitor also uses a different pixel and subpixel layout and technology, with a diffuser and smaller inter-pixel gaps. Your display almost certainly has at least 50% more if not double the number of dots per pixel than my sAMOLED (not plus) smartphones for example. And how often do you hold your 22 inch monitor 10 inches from your face while reading in bed for example?

How often are you copying mp3s whilst running for the bus? and I wonder if a N connection vs AC for copying those mp3s will make the difference.

Once or twice a week or so?

I did mention elsewhere N is already as fast as my memory card at close range but at 400m the extra bandwidth of AC comes in handy. Especially when N can manage a measly 15Mbps and takes 5 minutes to copy said album and said bus is 2 minutes out.

Again, not an issue if run properly. Nobody should be able to stuff anything.

See above. It's not speed that matters, its consistent speed at range without MIMO. The advantage isn't that it gives you more than 50Mbit, it's that it gives you 50Mbit at four to sixteen times the distance.
