There's a whole world of embedded devices with wide varieties of screen resolutions.

That is not a tiny screen, it has over 7 thousand pixels.

I think you will not be able to read 5x5 pixel letters on that display (a letter would be about 1 mm tall).

0.27mm dot pitch, so each letter would be 1.35mm square in a box of 1.62mm square. I expect I could read it just fine at the distances I'd expect to look at such a screen.

I tested this on a phone, and was able to read it without much difficulty at roughly 18-30 inches.

What is your definition of a tiny screen?
