is a 2560 x 1440 27 inch high enough dpi ?

Absolutely not! 2560*1440 at 27" give only 109 DPI ;-)


Well, my movies look great so I am happy

Sure, but take a screenshot of your desktop and watch it on a 15". Pictures and movies will still look great, but everything else will be tiny. MacBook Pros Retina already runs at 2880*1800 at that size, that gives 220 dpi. This is where HiDPI mode - or whatever you want to call it - comes useful. In this mode, everything is rendered at twice the size, so it will be the same size as in a 110 DPI screen, but better looking.
