MSI Claw — 314.7 PPI
The MSI Claw A1M features a 7.0-inch Full HD 120Hz IPS touchscreen display at 1920 × 1080 pixels with 315 PPI.
At 315 PPI, this exceeds the ~300 PPI threshold where individual pixels become imperceptible at hand-held distance. This is Retina-class density — sharp enough that increasing PPI further yields diminishing visible returns.
