"someone" told me once that the human eye can't see any more detail on a

one need not make images larger...

No idea where that stems from, my current screens display ~99PPI (1600
pixels across 16 inches) and they look much sharper than a similar
sized screen that can only display 1200 pixels across 16" (or 75PPI)

I've had monitors up to 150 ppi and I could still see the individual pixels at normal viewing distance, so I don't think that 72 ppi thing is true. It was the default on some systems back in the day, as was 96 ppi, on other systems, also back in the day.
