Interesting articles. I note that the little Sony handhelds (look like
Wii crap) have amazing little 3.4" screens at 1024x600 pixels (224MB
graphics cards), and it seems the ppi is between 220 and 285 depending
on version and x/y direction. Hard to make I bet.

I remember wanting to get a Toshiba G5 (?) model about two years back
when the UXGA screens were available (1600x1200 on 14.1" screens), but
they all had defects (a few pixels not working or stuck) and the
manufacturer had warning saying that the production process was so
difficult that they could not prevent such issues and that the
customer could not claim for this. Obviously, they tried hard, the
effect was pretty impressive, but not yet perfect.
