First thought was "meh", requiring four times the pixels is quite steep. But after giving it some thought that might be as good as one can hope for and considering that the pixel-graphics of today can't really be made to look good scaled up 10-90% it probably is one of the better (the best?) solutions as well (forcing vector graphics is going to be a nightmare and it won't look good on standard-DPI-monitors anyway).
(the biggest drawback I guess is that it doesn't really do anything for people wanting a larger interface for readability reasons, having everything four times as large is a hard blow for the real estate when you really wanted 120% or something)
What the author constantly mixes up is that you need four times as many pixels, not twice. And thus we need ~400 DPI to have everything at the same size as today. But yeah, just hope that it becomes mainstream enough to be affordable, OLED to the rescue? Thanks to displayport the interconnect won't be a problem at least.
