Asus Joins High Density Display Club With New Transformer Tablet

crookedvulture writes "The new iPad has received a lot of attention for its high-density display, but it's not the only tablet with extra pixels. Enter Asus' Transformer Prime Infinity, which has a 10.1" screen with a 1920x1200 resolution. The display doesn't look as good as the iPad's Retina panel, which has crisper text and better color reproduction. However, the Android-based Transformer has perks the iPad lacks, like an ultra-bright backlight, a Micro HDMI port, a microSD slot, and more internal storage. The Infinity is also compatible with an optional keyboard dock that adds six hours of battery life, a touchpad, a full-sized SD slot, and a standard USB port. The Transformer's tablet component is definitely no iPad-killer. When combined with the dock, though, the resulting hybrid offers a much more flexible computing platform."

Clearly, its more than meets the eye.

It's for the big blue room.

The iPad 3 backlight is very bright. I doubt you could make a brighter display without having a negative affect.

Congratulations. You've just admitted you've never been outside.

Oops, you're right on both counts. First, I meant to say 28% more pixels and 7% more pixels. Second, yes, the aspect ratio of my anus is definitely different than the iPad.

Cheers. :)
