Yeah, I agree, and it even looks fuzzy to me, I’ve just grown accustomed to it, and I rationalize / theorize that I’m not losing detail even if it looks soft.

What I really want is to not be able to see any sign of pixels at all; to be completely unable to tell how large a pixel is, or tell whether the image is high res and soft or sharper but low res.

Lol, you could say that again.
