Nano-Pixels Hold Potential For Screens Far Denser Than Today's Best

Zothecula (1870348) writes "The Retina displays featured on Apple's iPhone 4 and 5 models pack a pixel density of 326 ppi, with individual pixels measuring 78 micrometers. That might seem plenty good enough given the average human eye is unable to differentiate between the individual pixels, but scientists in the UK have now developed technology that could lead to extremely high-resolution displays that put such pixel densities to shame."

    I find it annoying that despite the existence of common devices which are "better" that the "best" is still considered to be Apple's.

    Congratulations, you have just lived down to your nickname, and it has led you to whine about Apple's popularity — the only reason why everything is compared to Apple.

    I know, right? Pixels schmixels. What really matters is dynamic contrast ratio. If these new screens don't have at least 10,000,000,000,000,000:1, I'm just not interested.
