I've always been a sucker for high-quality displays. Apple's Retina MBP is what finally converted me from being a Windows user. I have to say, I really love it. And... I may be the only one here... but I think they should go a little higher than 2880x1800. I know normal viewing distance is something like 15 inches, but I like to sit closer to my screen when coding and it sure would be nice to have all semblance of "pixels" completely disappear. How cool what that be? And if they started using AMOLED screens instead of IPS, then that would really be the perfect screen.

  It depends on what primaries you choose for your OLEDs. AMOLED has perfect black levels (LCD technology does not) and near-perfect viewing angles. Unrealistic colors are a problem of reproducing the information you acquire correctly. All of the colors humans can see are represented on the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram. Choose any three points within that color space and draw a triangle between them. This colors within the triangle are those that the primaries at the vertices of the triangle can reproduce. The rest is just a software issue (controlling the correct voltages to each LED).
