It's not about information density, it's about size. I upgraded from a 27" screen to a 32" screen, and the 32" screen feels much nicer to work with. Granted, a large part of that is about going from a ~108 PPI TN panel to a ~137 PPI IPS panel, but I also find that the physical size means I can comfortably have physically larger text without anything feeling cramped.
