Lincoln is hidden in the low frequencies in the image. One way to filter out the high frequencies is to step back a bit from the display, another is to squint your eyes, resize the image, or just use a low pass filter in an image editor.

Or, if you're a myopic glasses-wearer, simply try on-off. I love this trick for images of all kinds because it allows me to apply a uniform blur, no computation required.

I can just let go of focus, like a thousand yard stare.

Thanks. I can kind of see it out of the corner of my eye if I move a bit further from the screen.

I guess that's what the pixelated portrait of Lincoln on the same page is then.
