Unless your eyesight is better than 20/20, it’s not likely
you’ll see much benefit from a 5.5-inch 2560 x 1440 screen. Is LG creating this
to improve the mobile experience or simply for bragging rights? To my eyes,
it’s the latter.
Great news if you’re addicted to pixels: LG has developed
what it calls the world’s first Quad HD display for smartphones! The new
5.5-inch screen boasts a 2560 x 1440 resolution, which works out to a whopping
538 pixels per inch. By comparison, Apple’s first retina display handset, the
iPhone 4, debuted with 326 pixels per inch. Congratulations are in order for
LG’s achievement, but does the market need a small screen with so many pixels?
