Apple owns the royalties of a resolution?
That does not make any sense.

And 2560 X 1600 needs to be used more, I started gaming on my U3011 and after seeing games run at 2560 X 1600 there is no going back to 1920 X 1080/1200, even with 120hz.
 
I'm very glad to see Apple doing this. They started a similar trend years ago with their Cinema displays, and it's the reason I can enjoy a 1600p cheaper monitor from Dell.

It makes me angry beyond belief to hear people (even enthusiasts, who ought to know better) say that 1080p is all you need. So much discussion over what the human eye's limit is, and whether we've reached it. You know how you know we've reached the human eye's resolution limit? When 95% or more people cannot tell the difference between no anti-aliasing and 16x supersampling anti-aliasing. That's when, and not a pixel sooner.
 
[citation][nom]kartu[/nom]27" monitor is, uhm, 5-6 times bigger area than 11"?[/citation]
And yet your reply to his statement made no sense either. He stated that he can't get a 27inch with the res for a decent price, yes its bigger, but this little tablet will have it and a bag of chips for near to that price. I typed real slow for ya, so it made sense.
 
Wouldn't that high of resolution, make low res videos and photos look bad because you would need to blow them up, so much?

Even full HD videos would need to be blown up a bit.

 
And I still can't find a reasonably priced monitor above 1080p. WTF? I've been wanting to buy a 27"-32" monitor for a while now but am waiting for models over 1080p to drop under ~$800. Its obviously not technically challenging, so why are they so fracking expensive?

Mainstream doesn't want them yet, and they think it'll shrink everything on their screen and they won't be able to do anything about it 😉
 
Who will be the first to reach a 600dpi, 48 bit, 600Hz, 7680*4320, 3D, display, ... ?
[approx 14.686047800549 inches]
Say quality can go up like y=x, while value per quality increase is y=1/x, ...
That makes the first on/off light very valuable!
 
[citation][nom]jiangyi[/nom]Retina display is just a marketing term these days. Besides, what's wrong with bigger numbers? Would you like to still be using 256MB of RAM and a screen that's 1024x768? Same type of thing. While it might not cater to you, other people will want it.[/citation]

Yeah, sick ain't it. Look into your hotties eyes, CLOSELY - I'm sorry, they severely jumped the gun.

They do not have a retina display yet.

PS for you sad geeks a close up mirror and a bright light will do.
 
[citation][nom]clonazepam[/nom]Depends on the printer, some are smarter than others. Some use a one size fits all dot size. Some use a variable droplet size. Some use heat to squirt out inconsistent blobs and others use a more refined method using a crystal that responds to electricity to flex just the right amount to produce a perfect dot.[/citation]

OLD printers do 600x1200 and 1200x1200... what decade are you guys?
 
[citation][nom]Coops33[/nom]How about adjustable resolution?We we know, increase in resolution = increase in working space... BUT, some people (especially older ones) actually find it harder to work with such large resolutions and usually need every made bigger (which negates the reason for high res in the first place)I've got a co-worker who is in their mid 50's and we got them a 27" iMac 2560x1600 and we had to turn the resolution down because everything was "too small"Take a super high res like that and then squish it to an 11" screen? Yeah, a wonderful idea, but I think we need to now consider "optimal resolutions" for tablets based on their physical screen size.Sure cramming so many pixels into such a small area means you will not see the lines in between each one... but who honestly sees those anyways?[/citation]

With tablet and couch reclined you cram it onto your hairless chest and it's like half a foot from your retinas..... I quite understand most are blind as a bat, far sighted, or mentally incapable of refocusing...nonetheless some of us can see that.

Take a newspaper and look closely at the pictures - stipple shaded dots all over it.

With a large monitor you are 3 feet from the screen more or less - different situation.

 
[citation][nom]stm1185[/nom]I cant get a 27 inch monitor with 2560x1440 res for under $850 but you can get an "11 tablet with a 2560x1600 screen for probably $500. WTF LCD PANEL PEOPLE, GET ON THAT![/citation]
If you look at the specs for things like viewing angles and color gamut, the monitor has significantly better quality. For people to whom these attributes are important, the monitor is clearly more desirable.

It's also a bigger piece of glass. That cuts down on the number that can be sliced from one production pane, which also raises the cost.
 
The iPad3 has a resolution of 2048x1536 on a 9.7" screen which I believe works out at 264 pixels per inch, so the Apple marketing throng are also misusing the term "Retina Display". No doubt we will now see even more trademark/patent suites abound. Such a great use of resources. They all just need to get on and sell their gear on value-for-money and respective merits and pass the savings on to consumers, who are currently being systematically raped.
 
[citation][nom]jgutz2006[/nom]Apple owns the patent for any resolution of: 2560 x 1600 so Royalties will be paid to everyone who attempts to use a resolution equal or greater than this![/citation]

pretty sure that every company currently producing that resolution of monitors is not paying licensing fees to the corporate giant
 
[citation][nom]freggo[/nom]You'd be right if all you do is look at wepages and nudie pics. But believe it or not, these things are used a lot by professionals too.Engineers use it to view technical drawings with fine detail. I use it to review flight plans and maps when flying. And a crisp display that shows you details without jaggies is much easier to read and use than a low res screen. Kinda like a 6 cylinder engine. If you only drove 4 bangers you will feel it is a waste of resources to have '6'... until you get to drive one 🙂[/citation]

Yeah but you don't use ipads as a professional technical tool. Engineers and graphic professional use special equipment designed for their work. The displays in plane-cockpits require more then simply a whole bunch of pixels.

iPads like most tablets are consumer devices. As mr. livebriand wrote. This is completely absurd. Why doesn't Apple make these iPads more usefull by adding really usable features like full bluetooth transfer and connectivity (preferable with NFC), full USB ports with USB-host capability etc...

In fact if Apple cares so much about photographers why don't they add simple SD-card-readers in these "evolutionary" devices? I'm probably giving them ideas now to invent an iPAD cardreader with an Apple Dock-connector in some amazing design (magnetic click-on in expensive iPad-aluminum perhaps) that works in a crippled read-only mode and sells for a fortune. But hey, they can bundle it with iPhoto pro iPad-edition.

The problem is that in the end. The consumer decides whether he/she'll believe the hype and actually part their money. It's not that Apple employees held guns to these ppl's head orso, isn't it?

The startling fact is that these days consumers are more gullible then they used to be. Perhaps a new term could be used to describe them, e.g. consumorons.
 
[citation][nom]freggo[/nom]As f#$% up as our patent system is, I doubt that you can patent a specific resolution.[/citation]
He was using sarcasm...

Also, Samsung, please stop using marketing terms that make no sense and release the tablet already.
 
[citation][nom]jgutz2006[/nom]BREAKING NEWS!!!APPLE SUES SAMSUNG FOR USING THEIR OWN DISPLAYS IN THEIR OWN PRODUCTS, CLAIMING THAT THEY HAD THE IDEA FIRST![/citation]
Lol.
I doubt Samsung entered any exclusivity agreement with Apple regarding their screen use. Even if they did, it would be enough to make a minor improvement to the screen itself (like a bit thinner, a better material, or something similar) to escape the restriction of such agreement (if it ever existed). Don't forget, technology evolves, and whatever Samsung is producing now they'll make it better a few months from now. That means it is very likely that the screen will be better than what iPad has.

and that is why the ipad will always lose out to something not apple related. they release on a very specific schedule, meaning that any company can have a better product (OBJECTIVELY) than apple. release later in the year, have better hardware (and subjectively, software).

+1 sir, +1
