Gotta admit, I snorted meanly at the suggestion that 1080px isn't wide enough to fit an 80 column text display... Then felt old.

It's not the pixels you need to worry about here, but the inches.

That said, "default" text (12pt at 96dpi) is around 140 monospace characters across a sideways 27 inch screen.
