growing a 640x360 display to 4inchs would suffer the Nintendo DS effect.. the pixels become larger and postage stamp like.. bigger screens are good, provided the DPI doesn't fall to the floor..
Yeah. High dpi/ppi can become a double edged sword if the rest of the components don't take advantage of the extra resolution in a good way:

- rescaleable display elements
- don't require the users to make use of needles to hit the input buttons
- proper performance optimization
etc.
