Let me get this straight PPI is pixels per inch right? So if i reduce my PPI the image becomes more pixelated or what? How can i get more resolution if i have a LOW resolution and a High PPI? I don’t understand. I know that a higher PPI means a higher pixel density but doesn’t that equals more pixels?!? thereforE a larger X Y Resolution, i don’t get it

Resolution is the total number of pixels on the screen. PPI is the number of pixels in an inch.
For a fixed sized display, if one goes up so does the other, and vice versa.
But not all displays are the same size. If you increase the physical size of a display (say from 24″ to 27″) but keep the same resolution, then the PPI will go down: the same number of pixels is now spread over a larger screen.
That’s why your 1080p phone screen can look sharp from only 20 or so cm away, but if you looked at a 30″ 1080p TB from 20 cm distance, you’d easily be able to see individual pixels.
