If only we had some sort of technology that would effectively simulate colors on print.
Oh how that would revolutionize print design.
Got a tip for us?

What I want most is a smaller bezel!!
16" can fit in a 15" MBP
14" can fit in a 13.3" MBP
PLEASE! thanks
90% from the current usage. But they never told you that the current power draw is still very little lol.

This story is so utterly pointless, so Sharp have NOT produced any 15 or 17 or even 13 inch screens using this new tech, they have NOT stated they will make any in this size, their is NO link between these new screens and any of Apple's laptops, yet Mac Rumors has made a story about them proclaiming Sharp "MAY" make one and Apple "MAY" use it??!!!?!?!?!
Seriously... you can't just choose any old new tech and proclaim one day Apple may use it based on absolutely nothing but you saying so....

I was all set to buy one of the closeout 17" MBPs to replace my 2008 15". I find a HUGE difference between 1920x1200 and 1440x900.
But if we really do get Retina in the new 15", I'd probably go for that instead. Based on my experience with the new iPad, I'm comfortable with much smaller font sizes for content, and so I'd get many of the advantages of a higher-res screen even if HiDPI keeps controls at a fixed size.
Mostly, though, the Retina Display is immensely more comfortable and pleasant for both brief and extended use. Given a choice between a conventional 17" display and a Retina 15" (or maybe even 13") display, I'd pick the Retina, and gladly pay extra for the privilege.
I just hope Apple announces the machines soon, so I can make my decision before the stock of old 17" MBPs runs out...

He's worried they'll be radioactive. Hmm, that means they'll glow on their own - so that's how they've reduced power consumption by 90%
They only list sample specifications on their site. There is nothing saying that they aren't producing them at other sizes and I don't know if Apple would want Sharp telling the world that they are producing panels at the MBP screen sizes
But as I said, their is NOTHING to state they are making other sizes or that ANY link between them and Apples laptops exists, as stated in the story on the front page! Pointless rumour.
Valid point. I guess its the timing of this report in addition with the whole 'Retina' term used by Intel yesterday to describe future displays along with the long time rumor that the iPad and "iTV" (whatever it will be called) would have the IGZO panels and rumors of the new upcoming MBP that prompted this article.
Whilst I'm sure we will see high res Apple laptop screens, Sharp is not the only manufacturer and Apple has used LG and Samsung an awful lot before. I just feel this story lacks any real evidence of the screens being used. But you never know?
haha don't worry, i agree with you that there really isn't any real evidence to support the idea that this is related to the next MBP screen. I guess they just want to give people some hope for the idea of a retina MBP this round.
I guess we'll see in the next couple of months.
Yes it is. But still, the screen is one of the most power-hungry components in a laptop. A substantial power reduction there should result in a longer batter life of our future laptops.
Nice one mate. Good to see that you have your priorities correctly sorted...
In an addiction, priorities don't exist haha
Major corporations around the world buy parts that are manufactured in that region, so that means you practically can't buy any electronics and cars.
We also had numbers of commercial and military nuclear accidents since 1955 and some are serious. If you apply what you are saying, you can't even live in the US.
Using it as a HTPC monitor?

Looks as pointless as that the New iPad would come with Haptic display technology.

We have.
It's called color management, and it's getting pretty precise these days.
The only problem so far was that sharpness could not be judged from a the sharpness of an image displayed on a monitor.
If this could change... this could save a lot of ink and paper.
...and the XLR sockets can, stylistically, be made to look like exhaust pipe tips!!! YeaH!
Are you refering to color profiles or color calibration hardware?
The gripe I have right now is that hardware wise, the quality of the average displays are so poor, and even on high end displays you need calibration to reflect similar print results.
Which means dropping at least 1.5-2k for a decent setup. Quite costly.
Coupled with the average printers output ability, results are always unsatisfactory on the first few attempts.

The iPhone is already using a display with a much higher efficiency than the iPad... 2.7 times more efficient per square inch than the new iPad. In fact, it's more efficient than the iPad 2. I don't think you'll see nearly as great of a power reduction for the next iPhone as you will for the next iPad.
I hate when this happens. Is there a solution? My they can code the software to display more pixels menu at higher resolution. Sometimes Menu items are just too small to be usable. Like the picture above, even though exaggerated.
btw, does high screen resolution will mean there will be a new 4K definition, then we will have to download the "new" 4k resolution movies/series and new format will be out called PurpleRay for 4K and Youtube wil have 4K button and people will start posting stuff like :
"720p , we meet again"
This, a 2880x1800 15 mbp is of no interest to me, id rather have A 1680x1080 one,
This is nice, but not really a good option for me. This will just make a HDPI monitor but with the same screen estate as a 1440x900 monitor, which is abysmal for a 15''. It would need at least 16x10 or 19x12 screen estate level. HDPI or not.
A 17'' MBP should get the 2560x1600 option.
