iPad Screen Resolution
iPad Screen Resolution:
While it is true that the new iPad screen resolution falls short, even in its most expensive WI-FI + 3G form, of the 2048×1536 pixels promised resolution it does make up for the fact in the little differences Apple has gotten us used to with every new solution they bring on the market. The iPad 2 does keep the 1024×768 pixels resolution of the original but new technologies like the oleo-phobic coating and the IPS capacitive screen are bringing in new levels of picture quality that would make even the most demanding customers satisfied with the level of improvement the next generation iPad Screen Resolution is bringing in.
iPad Screen Size:
The iPad screen size measures 9.7 inches diagonally making it excellent for multimedia viewing. It is quite slim as it is only 0.5 inch thin with width of 7.47 inches and 9.56 inches height.
Also we must keep in mind that the 9.7” screen can only go so far with the level of resolution it displays before the entire thing becomes ridiculous. Because there is a good reason why the resolution has been going higher and higher only as the diagonal of the modern monitors have been going up. And that is because not even a 14” laptop monitor cannot and should not display a higher resolution then 1366×768. The fact of the matter is that the higher the resolution goes the smaller fixed size items like the desktop icons, or the start button menu will seem to be. Up to the point where the resolution could theoretically be so high that you won’t be able to tell the difference between the My Computer icon and the Recycle Bin. So promise what they will Apple simply cannot deliver the 2048×1536 pixel resolution unless they design a very high level of detail and huge, compared with today’s standards, size icons, text size, and document viewers. Even so, cramming that many pixels in the tiny 9.7” diagonal won’t result in a noticeable difference compared with the iPad screen resolution we see on the shelves today.
But while the iPad screen resolution might not be up for much of a discussion on improvements can certainly be brought in to bring an ever higher image quality. This release it is the time to add the oleo-phobic layer. Oleo means oil in Latin so there should be no mystery on why there are less finger prints on the touch screen then there used to be on the older version of the iPad. While the claim that it can be used in bright sunlight just as easy as any eBook reader is somewhat farfetched it is none the less true that the new layer makes a difference indoors. Of course touch screens will always have the problem of fingerprints and until they come up with a solution for modern man to stop leaving them it is hardly conceivable that they will be able to come up with a surface that will be entirely fingerprint proof. Still the oleo-phobic layer is a nice improvement and the iPad screen resolution benefits a lot from it, perhaps more than it would have from a pixel upgrade.
With the weight of the iPad going lower and lower and the performances both on the inside and on the outside of the device growing with each new release the future sure does sound promising. Of course in time even the iPad screen resolution will go higher and it will be with the aid of technology that we are not even dreaming of yet. But that’s what make the future so worth knowing and why Apple will always retain their niche in the market.
