It's obviously not meant for... lets call it "high-end" use. But that was clear from the start, with that resolution and SoC.
You mean Angry Birds?

NO.
I am discussing actual screen comparisons of 7 inch tablets here.
Oh boy another stupid thread by a non owner I do own one and at 12 to 20 inches it looks just fine. I also own a iPad 4 it looks fine also. goodbyeNO.
I am discussing actual screen comparisons of 7 inch tablets here.
um...Having a look at displaymates detailed analysis of the new mini screen, the real issues have nothing to do with the lack of retina.
When it comes to the SCREEN, the problems with the display are:
- Very High screen reflections. Up to 53% higher than the competition.
- Text is not sharp.
- Low color gamut.

Perhaps you missed the tittle of this thread, it's not about the ecosystem, apps, apple logo, price etc etc etc. I am also sourcing the information from a site that is renowned for detailed screen reviews.
Considering lots of people will take the mini on the go and read on it, screen reflections cause fatigue. In addition, the mini has poorer screen readability in bright light.
When it comes to personal opinions, do I really need to say any more about them. For example, folks with HP Touchpads will swear that they're the best tablet hands-down.
How were you aware of the screen reflection versus the competition?
I don't know about how reflection affects my usage but I do wish the screen had a bit more pop / color. After using the iphone 5, iPad 3 and retina MacBook, the screen of the mini almost feels dim / washed out. I wish there was a way to make some adjustments.
This is inherent in the lower quality panel technology that they decided to use. Even if the settings were provided, you would lose something else by increasing the saturation. In other words the panel is already as saturated as it can be without loosing out on contrast.
The screen has already been calibrated for ideal contrast/saturation from the factory. The panel can't be pushed any further.

Get a clue.Nobody gives a damn about your personal vendetta against the mini.Get a life.
So you point to analysis by a "renowned" expert on screens that rated the screens on the Kindle, mini, and Nexus...The responses are also laughable considering so many will return device after device because they assume something is wrong with a perfect screen.
Surely you see the irony in your statement.
The responses from so many on here is pure iSheep fanboy idiocy. I know apple has blurred the water and many now assume it's arts students designing this technology, however, many of us actually have a clue about technology. You know, as in are actual engineers who design such products and their chipsets.
Therefore, unless you actually have something technical to say, or personal experiences relating to the points mentioned in the OP, move along. The responses are also laughable considering so many will return device after device because they assume something is wrong with a perfect screen.

what point are you trying to prove? that you know how to regurgitate information that most everyone already knows? do you want everyone to take back their ipad mini's?
NO.

That's what I've been trying to figure out. At this point I figure it's either
a) troll
b) actual author of that article shilling his site, or
c) someone who wants a Mini but for one reason or another can't have one and wants everyone to know why it would be stupid to have one anyway, or
d) all of the above
If the guy who has a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Princeton University and produces video calibration, evaluation, and diagnostic products for consumers, technicians, and manufacturers gave the mini screen a rating of "B", what specifically is your concern?Of course, apparently, the analysis of a renowned expert in displays who has a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Princeton University and produces video calibration, evaluation, and diagnostic products for consumers, technicians, and manufacturers is no match for the 'opinions' of folks on macrumours.
Guys, first off, I have two iPads with LTE on order, so spare me the troll BS. What I am trying to ascertain is whether the aforementioned will be an issue.
I am asking legitimate questions regarding the performance and limitations of the iPad mini screen. Resolution is only one part of a screen.

And why the hell would you start a thread like this if you're only looking for the input from people with his qualifications?!
Not to mention, your original post didn't even ask a question. You were stating what the "real issues" of the screen are-you did not ask for any input.
I guess we must also need Ph.D's in order to discern what you really are trying to say...
I reworded the OP and posts....
