What do you mean by a better display? Merely a higher resolution? The iPad’s IPS panel is great and I personally hope that they don’t go with other technologies. An increased resolution would be nice but unlikely.
- daimyoyo 16y agoBy better I meant a retina display level resolution ideally behind gorilla glass. As I'd said, the iPad display is great, but the market expects more now.
- nlogn 16y agoA display of that resolution is infeasible with current GPUs, though. The device would be a combination of too large, too heavy, and/or have too short battery life. I don't even think it will be feasible in the next iteration; perhaps the one after. I honestly think they made the resolution only 1024x768 on purpose to reduce the amount of time it will take to be able to cost-effectively double it. If they had shipped with a 1280x800 screen (like the Xoom's) off the bat, it would probably tack on an extra iteration before they could double it.
- zmmmmm 16y agoI'm always amazed that people think the iPad display is good. The text always looks blurry and poorly antialiased to me which I attribute to the fact that it has quite low DPI. Further to that the minute I walk out the door I can barely see anything on the screen - it's just not bright enough. I love the iPad in a few ways but the display is one of the things I dislike.
- ugh 16y agoThe iPad has the ppi of a 15" screen with a 1680x1050 resolution. No low ppi count by any means. It uses the same non-subpixel antialiasing as OS X and tests showed that it can get pretty bright and pretty black. Certainly no worse than a laptop screen.
