An appropriate DPI is at least 300 at laptop distances which is the point when you start to not need subpixel antialiasing and font hinting which sacrifices letter shape for sharpness.

That means about 4K for 15 inches.

Well luckily for the low low price of $4000, you can get a 32" 8k monitor, which hits that sweet spot.

These show up on ebay from time to time for significantly less. It's not a half bad monitor but it is a pain to drive.
