Man, I’m stumped. Reader MSA writes:

Question: If I have a 30″ 1080p HDTV and a 50″ 1080p HDTV, would the 50″ TV have larger pixels? Because both tv’s have a 1080 vertical pixels, but the 50 incher’s pixels are spread over more inches. So does that mean the pixels are actually larger?

Any of you expert commenters out there know the answer? I’d assume the answer is yes, but we all know what assuming makes me, don’t we? A dickwad.
