What is 'Retina'? Pixel Density or PPI as Fast As Possible

Retina displays and other high pixel density displays such as 4K TVs, 1080p cell phones, and Full HD+ tablets are being heavily marketed to consumers. Cut through the sales fluff and understand what it all means in a couple minutes!

When you realize audible is advertising on yt for 6 yrs now

I'm so glad you spelled "colour" correctly Diezel or B-Roll! That made me quite happy and was probably my favourite part of the video. I also love the professionalism on this channel for the target audience. It makes me feel like Linus is "at work", whereas the LTT channel feels like Linus and/or Slick and I are just kicking back with the nerdy shit we're into. Loving everything Linus Media Group is doing, keep up the fantastic work guys!

REALLY, REALLY like the change in camera angle throughout the video! great job! Techquickie

Your advertisement transitions are always unexpected and humorous, love it.

Interesting point, but the complications that arise from manufacturing 1000 ppi or 2000 ppi displays thatare outlined in the video are very real, particularly for consumer grade products. The future is going to be awesome though...

Caller: "You have been mis-sold PPI, sir"
me: "How can you be mis-sold pixel density, you are a stupid man"
Caller: seems confused
me: Hangs up

32" 1920x1080p monitor owner here. Couldn't agree more. I couldn't care less for 1200 or 1440p resolutions. 1080p has served me well for quite some time, and it still looks wonderful to this day.

"speaking of links in the description" wasn't awkward enough for ya? I thought it was pretty brutal...

A thread is a task for the processor. Cores run threads. Usually you will have several dozen or hundreds of threads running simultaneously, but most of them are very light.

commercial mass production is always at least 5 - 7 years behind mature lab results. just because currently 400 ppi is high end, doesn't mean we are not capable of producing higher ppi. JDI already made a small display at 650-700ppi and it was almost half year ago. give it another few years, we'll see 1000+ ppi displays in the lab and commercially available in two years after that

Apple's displays have more going for them than just resolution. They have (objectively, no fanboy nonsense) some of the best mobile displays on the market when you consider contrast, colour accuracy, AND resolution.

i have a phone with 213 ppi with  a 4, 5 inch display and for me it looks great.Have to really stare up close to see any pixels.

Green screen may help with the animations they pop in and out. They could also change the entire background if they need to show something else.

[johneygd]

I readed that oled technology do have a finer pixel density to make things look as fine and crisp as on paper, but if i looked close and futher then my nose, i could clearly see pixel onscreen, so even if the source is 4K and that tv can handle it, does not mean it has a higher dpi or bpp rate.

Actually I was referring to a poll I found that Samsung alone sold twice as many devices as Apple (in whatever quarter they were looking at) and Apple still lead the market in total profit overall. Of course Samsung (and everyone else But Apple) has multiple devices, and everyone but Apple rolls out newer ones every 3-6 mos. So you're correct about the "premium pricing". And TBH, IDK if that included Tablets. it just said devices.

DPI is dots per inch, it's a term used in printing. That's how many dots of ink exist within an inch squared. DPI is typically half the PPI when going from digital to print, though with these higher density displays becoming more and more common that general rule of thumb is most certainly no longer an accurate one.

[BumbiSit]

Personally, i like AMOLED screens. When i compared my Note 2 screen with my friends iPad 4, my colors were more vivid and overall it looked better. The difference was actually quite big.

[RoguePxel]

DPI and PPI are basically completely different. DPI is a term that is usually only used when printing an image.
