There’s no point. Your eyes can only see detail so fine, and anything smaller is overkill.

A phone is meant to be viewed from maybe one foot, so pixels must be very small for you to not see them. A TV is viewed from several feet, so pixels can be larger and still be too small to see. For example, there’s no point in having 4K resolution on a 50″ TV when viewed from ten feet because 1080P already has pixels too small for you to see.
