Analysis of iPad 2 display shows performance similar to iPhone 4, article.
Although the iPad 2 display's 132 ppi doesn't compare favorably to the iPhone 4's 326 ppi, Dr. Soneira calls the pixel density on the Retina Display "overkill" anyway. He believes some of the iPad 2 display's shortcomings could be addressed in software; Dr. Soneira says "anti-aliasing on the iPad 2 is far from state-of-the-art and degrades the perceived sharpness of text and graphics." Indeed, comparing the anti-aliasing on an iPad display versus a notebook display with a similar pixel density shows the iPad suffers from greater pixellation.
[...] Perhaps improved anti-aliasing for the iPad 2 is something we should add to our wish list for iOS 5.
It seems the first one may just not have had the processing power to make such fine anti-aliasing as say, the MacBook Air.
However it is, I hope something changes soon, for while the iPad display is far from bad, when you put it next to the iPhone 4 or a MacBook... :-(
