Is it me or does the iPad 2 have a better looking screen?

I know it's not directly said, but I get the feeling that's what he's talking about in this video at about 1:06 Reducing the 3 surfaces to 2, as in meaning laminating the display.

I think that what he means by that is there is no sides, is that it just tapers right from the bezel, where the original iPad had actual sides

I agree, it looks crisper. Look at this picture for example:

Wow some of you guys have really good eyes... I can't tell the difference at all...

I have to say I agree. I Zaprudered that clip over and over and he starts talking about the screen, then immediately after says "by reducing what were essentially three surfaces to two, we got rid of the structural wall around the perimeter of the unit and eliminated the edge". The key word is "by". They eliminated the wall by reducing the thickness by fusing the surfaces of the glass and display.

Or at least that is what I want it to mean. There is another thread on here with pretty damining evidence against this idea. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1110356/

I have to disagree actually. What he seems to be referring to is that they removed the "edge"of the ipad, meaning it has no trim now, as it just tapers from the screen right across the back to the other side. Its like a knife, you would say that it has two surfaces and you don't include the sharp side. Thats why he says "we got rid of the structural wall around the perimeter of the unit and eliminated the edge". That structural wall on the side is now gone. It just tapers from the edge of the bezel. It has nothing to do with screen thickness. I really don't understand why people keep insinuating that this statement is somehow referring to the screen and how this means that the screen is laminated like the iPhone 4.

I do really hope the screen is better quality and laminated like the iP4, but that statement has nothing to do with it unfortunately

It does appear to be much crisper.
I hope reviews start coming in soon.

I know, I saw this too but not sure if it is just the pic. Seems like it would be easy to find out though, which makes me think they didn't change it. Maybe this is the rumors we heard about problems with screen production.

This pic looks more like a rendering than a real photo.
