LG shows off 'first' full HD LCD for smartphones

5in, 440dpi screen, anyone?

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

And the latest entry in the 'how many pixels can we cram into a phone display' stakes comes from LG which today announced a 5in in-plan switching (IPS) LCD with a 1920 x 1080 resolution.

It's the first full HD screen for a handset, LG claimed.

Do the sums and that yields a pixel density of 440ppi. That's than enough to ensure the human eye can't distinguish one dot from the next.

This, the company pledged, "significantly advances the cloud computing experience widely considered the next major internet trend".

You can tell it's not the engineers that write this stuff, can't you?

In fact, they're all too busy ensuring LG can make good its promise to ship the 5in 1080p screen before the year is out. ®

Re: Finally.

I'd prefer a 15" laptop with that PPI.

Finally.

Now can they make a 15" laptop display with this resolution?

Re: Wahoo!

However, if Apple had crammed that amount of pixels into an iPhone, we'd hear you blathering on about how magical and revolutionary it was, right? And how horrible Androids were because they didn't have that many pixels.

Obvious iTroll is obvious
