Samsung 276ppi screen defeats Apple MacBook Retina display
By Rich Trenholm on 20 May 2013, 4:51pm
Prepare to have your eyeballs melted: Samsung is readying a
screen so crisp, so sharp, so detailed, it actually destroys
retinas. Or to be more precise, it beats the resolution of Apple's
famous Retina display.
Samsung has announced it will unveil the new high-resolution
laptop screen this month. It's a 13.3-inch 3,200x1,800 screen
likely to find its way into slimline ultrabook laptops, offering a
stunning 276 pixels per inch.
That's a more detailed screen than that of the 2,560x1600-pixel
resolution of the 13-inch MacBook Pro 13's Retina display
screen, which gives you 227ppi. In fact, it's even more detailed
than the 2,880x1,800 screen in the next MacBook up, the 15-
inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.
It's better too than rivals including the 2,560x1,700 Google
Chromebook Pixel. But before we get too far ahead of ourselves,
let's note that it's only a demonstration at the moment, being
exhibited at an industry gathering rather than actually being built
into any new products.
Samsung is also showing off a high-definition AMOLED screen
that promises to use a quarter less power than current
technology, as well as a 23-inch touchscreen that you can control
with all ten fingers.
And that's not to mention two new 4K ultra high definition
televisions bringing UHD into the realms of the vaguely
affordable, as opposed to current models that cost upwards of
£35,000.
Is Samsung set to beat Apple at the laptop game, just like it's
doing in the world of smart phones? Tell me your thoughts in the
