I think mobile HD screens are seriously overrated. 800x480 is totally adequate.

@a5cent I see your points and I agree. I only would like to say, that I didn't question what you are writing, but tried to bring in the general consumers view.

Hey, no problem. We all live in countries that support free speech ;-)

BTW: tact rate = clock frequency ;-) Very good English otherwise!!

Agree with your other points as well, including the part about Microsoft showing off. That Intel could retrain people to think of cores as the main indicator of performance instead of clock frequency is also true, but it is just as false. All just marketing.

5" 1080p Smartphone standard for 2013.

- Samsung Super AMOLED 1080p 5" 441 PPI
- LG AH-IPS 1080p 5" 440 PPI
- Sharp LCD 5" 1080p 443 PPI
- Sony Bravia 5" 1080p 442 PPI

- HTC has a Super LCD 3 1080p 5" 440 PPI

Don't be surprised to see new top end Smartphone's all using 5" display's in 2013!

- Nokia Lumia 940
- Samsung ATIV S2
- iPhone 5S
- Galaxy S4
- HTC has 3 in the making.

Should see 2500 mAh battery's to power them?
Marketing or not there coming.

a question about resolution, and I think I know the answer, but I would like the community to confirm what I think is right or set me straight...

the question is this: which scenario would offer the best quality video. for the sake of argument, the movie selected in this scenario is "The Martian".
a 20" 720p TV playing a DVD at 4 feet away
a 40" 1080p TV playing a BluRay at 8 feet away
a 80" 4k TV playing a UHD disk at 16 feet away
