720 pixels per inch. The dot pitch and the pixel pitch are two different
things.

However, even at 5760x1440, which is 8x2 dots per pixel, there's still a lot
of dither noise that spills over into adjacent pixels, which means you won't
really see much more sharpness at 720 than at, say, 360, except for really
high contrast edges like text.
