Yeah you know another way to judge the screen ? Look at it. If you can't see the difference then you just don't want to
Difference like between SD and HD? Do you see THAT difference between mini and N7? Sincerely?

For some things yes like web browsing
look pal the two screens are not the same, the N7 is better than the mini, if you can't understand that then i don't care, some people get so upset over silly things and where did i say just text? please i will wait for that discovery thanks
It is the same. The difference is down to the size of the pixels, nothing more.No the two 720 TVs have the same resolution the nexus 7 and mini do not so comparing the two is not the same
Lol another "I bought something and need to justify it to the world" thread. Glad you enjoy your purchase.
cool, congrats! which color of smart cover did you get? I got one also
I don't have to justify anything to anyone. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the mini. Have a nice day.

Went with the dark grey smart cover.
You are of course right about the comments, I totally agree. BTW, love your sig.
I've been playing with the iPad Mini that I bought earlier today. I have to say that a lot of the criticism that I've seen about it is unwarranted IMHO. Before I bought it I spent ~30 minutes comparing the Mini to the Nexus 7, as I had not made up my mind on which one to buy. In my comparison, the Mini is snappier then the N7, the screen is just as nice, at least to my eye, and the overall fit and finish of the Mini is very nice! I got the 32GB slate and smart cover. I scored the Mini for $409. Overall I am very happy with the purchase.
Awesome. I love mine as well. Hands down the best gadget I've ever owned.
Did you get a case yet? I just got one of the smart covers from Apple but am thinking of returning it for something that also protects the back.
What about screen protectors? I haven't gotten one yet but am on the fence about doing so.
Congrats on the mini!! I'm on my ipad 4 coming from a returned mini and I'm nearly fed up with my ipad 4 to the point of going back to the store and rebuying the mini, AGAIN!
I know this question wasn't directed at me, but I have the Smart Cover and am using a skin to protect the back from scratches.
Would you like to share what ski your are using?

the screen is not as nice, that is a fact not an opinion, there may be a problem with that person's eyes where they can not notice a difference, but that is a separate issue

i think there are some Minis out there with hazy/blurry screens that have nothing to do with the resolution or PPI. this could be due to anti-reflective coatings that were improperly applied which yield a hazy finish on the screen similar to the Lenovo X120e when they switched screen suppliers mid-production cycle. i wish i took a picture of what i am referring to, but i saw the same kind of screen defect on the iPad Mini display models as i did on the Lenovo X120e i used to own. at first i thought it was grease so i wiped the screen and it stayed the same. i tried a co-worker's iPad Mini and it also seemed to have a hazy screen. yet the 16GB iPad Mini i bought for my girlfriend seems fine. i think there is a QC issue with the display in the Mini and people are confusing the display defect with thinking that the resolution/PPI is to blame.
the appearance of the hazy coating is minimized if you turn down the brightness, but still noticeable. again, this is a defect that likely doesn't affect most iPad Minis but still a significant amount by Apple standards.
perhaps this is what many people are seeing, confusing it for the fact it's non-Retina and thinking that is the cause.
that's very interesting. anyone else seeing this? I just ordered my mini today.

For some things yes like web browsing but for others like viewing pics the mini is quite good and not nearly as bad as the previous poster said. Overall the mini is better than the n7
If its a hazy/blurry screen, then you have a defective Mini screen. Mine and others on display at my Apple store had none of that.
I noticed several here since Launch day mentioned blur or haze thinking that's just how the Mini screen is but it is not normal.
Definitely return and exchange if you get one with a bad screen
