Meanwhile the images we view on those same screens have increased in size by nearly 20 times!
- brigade 14y ago20 years ago notebooks had 640x400 or 640x480 screens... If you include the 15" retina MBP then that's 17x more pixels in 20 years. And that includes greyscale to 8bit color to 16 bit color to 24/32 bit color, passive-matrix to active-matrix, and dozens of other panel technology improvements not directly related to resolution.
