The 440PPI screen is based on AH-IPS (Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching) tech which maxes out with a 1920×1080 display. The panel is also “1.3 times more advanced in ppi than the preceding 4.5″ panel at 329ppi and 1280×720.”
Just to put things in perspective — The iPhone 4S is 330PPI. Sony’s Xperia S, 342PPI. The new LG display, 440PPI. Lord have mercy! The screen’s launch date is set for later this year. Let’s see what LG can bring to the game.
The press release states that we’ll no longer be able to distinguish between individual pixels. The 440PPI display will also be “ideal for outdoor settings”. That’s one up on Apple at least.
