LG Gets Ready to Take On the Retina Display with 1080p, 440ppi Screen

  • LG announced it plans to launch a 5-inch LCD screen that will feature 1080p resolution and 440ppi pixel density.
  • The new screen, which LG claims will be the first to offer full HD on a smartphone, is slated for release later this year.
  • “Specifically designed for smart devices, LG’s screen uses AH-IPS technology — that’s Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching — allowing a wide viewing angle, fast response times and a realistic color palette,” reports Digital Trends. “The resolution is 1920 x 1080, which is more commonly found on HDTVs and high definition monitors, and the 5-inch panel will have a 16:9 ratio.”
  • The 440ppi pixel density should be an attention-grabber as well. When Apple introduced its Retina Display for the iPhone 4, it touted 330ppi.
  • Although LG has yet to announce any devices to feature the new screen, the post suggests the potential of Samsung’s Galaxy Note and the next generation of LG’s Optimus Vu.
