Blown away by Retina display

[aluren]

I shot it Sunday, comparing the retina display to the iPad display. See more pics here:

Any chance you have a close up pic of the entire dollar bill?

And to stay on topic, yeah the retina display is amazing!

Sync your photos for both an older iPhone/iPod touch and iPhone 4. Keep it at the same brightness. Mine was at 50% default with auto-brightness off. Make sure the photos were taken at higher the iP4's screen resolution of 960x640 (like 2-3MP). I have a photo album at VGA, and it doesn't show quite the same details when I zoom it to the max. And then pinch it all the way. No pixelation at full zoom. Comparisons between the old vs new is like night and day.

It makes me want to sell my iPod touch right away or throw it against the wall like a caveman because on how prehistoric it looks now overnight. Even my laptop computer I have the urge to sell. I can never go back to those crappier looking screens again. The Retina Display enhances your picture viewing experience. You would ask yourself, "Who knew my camera took such great photos?" Because even some people's computer screens when they uploaded them on their hard drive looks like crap with its lack of pixel density.

The Retina Display is the most expensive part of the iPhone 4. Well worth the admission.

Do you have any old iPhone photos and new iPhone 4 photos that you could post to compare? I wiped my 3G clean to give it to a relative, so I don't have any comparisons.

Next time, provide links instead of saying search. For the record, I don't mind people coming in and telling their experience with an iPhone feature. Nice change from all the bloody antenna threads. Don't try to scare off people that actually post good stuff on this forum.

I agree!!!!

No, sorry.

Sold the 2G, only have the iPod touch which doesn't take screenshots. Harder to see it via camera shots. This is one of those times that is better seen in person with your own two eyes.

At that magnification, it's only a small part of the bill. Why would you need one?

Retina display is great, think we'll ever see anything make it to grander scales, ie Apple Cinema Displays? Possible HDTV??? Thoughts anyone?

For the other million retina display threads out there.

it IS amazing. the only bad thing is now the iPad display looks like crap in comparison (i think). holding off on iPad until the display is on par with the phone (and they add a camera, etc.)
