Samsung launches retina display

Anyone seen this?

Fresh from all the legal battles with Apple, Samsung has gone and revealed its Retina Display competitor, the Series 9 WQHD ultrabook. This 13-inch marvel has a screen that could give Apple’s flagship MacBook Pro Retina Display a run for its money.
Samsung’s Series 9 WQHD has a matte screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 for its 13-inch display. This is compared to the Retina’s 2880×1800. While not having the same amount of pixels as the Retina, the Series 9 WQHD actually has greater pixels-per-inch (ppi). The Apple has to make do with 221ppi, while the Samsung gets 226ppi. It may not seems like much, but it makes the two screens almost indistinguishable.

Thoughts? Do you think it will match the rMBP in price and quality?

So... Apple has the Retina Display, and Samsung has a Retina+. Sounds cool

Thoughts?

Expect to see a ton of this. Display manufacturers are going to push these high PPI displays to hardware OEMs hard.

16:9 is sad though.
