This doesn't matter for a 9 inch screen, but does for a 70 inch screen. I did a side by side of the Ipad 2 and this new one and couldn't tell the diff.
x2, the original ipad, the screen is as sharp as you can get, how much more can people ask for, most people have 20/20 vision. Do you want to look at the screen with a magnifying glass?
Yeah on a bigger screen it would matter like mos said 70 inch 50 inch whatever, but not a freaking 9 inch screen.
