I've heard people say they want to see a better screen resolution on the next ipad. I have an iphone 4 so I understand. But I've only seen an ipad up close one time at that was a while ago. Is the screen that bad on the current ipad?
I usually use videora to convert videos to my iphone/ipod, but when i use it for the ipad, the videos come out looking pretty bad because there is no option to convert to ipad resolution (which is higher than iphone/ipod obviously) anyone found a program that converts videos to ipad resolution?
With the new App store for the Mac coming out in three months, the much lighter and more useful MacBook Air available, I'm considering just selling my iPad and get the new MBA (Mac, not degree). I just have not enjoyed typing on the iPad. Too large for thumb typing, and just not workable with touch typing. So I use the Apple keyboard doc to type.I'm back to a small laptop.The new Magic Trackpad gives me all of the touch motions (probably even more) than the iPad. And my MacBook and LED screen don't have greasy fingerprints on it.The one issue I might have is iBooks, but that might show up in the new App store. And frankly, the iPad's screen resolution is just terrible for reading. Of course, maybe iPad 2 will have the same screen as the Retina display of the iPhone 4, which is lovely and easy to read. Also, I've actually stuck with the Kindle store for books, because there are just more books in the Kindle store, some at a lower price point (albeit just $1 give or take) than iBooks. Moreover, I get the real iWorks and Office on the MBA.
I love my iPad. But I still can't figure out why they went with 1024x768, instead of a nice wide-screen resolution, preferably 1280x720. It sure would of been nice, as it would save me from having to crop or zoom in on many Movies to just get full-screen. Maybe the only reason I can come up with, is it would look a little long when holding it in Portrait mode. Would you have preferred a wide-screen iPad?
Best I can tell from what I've read, there's no accessory I can use to hook my iPad to an HDTV via HDMI, DVI, or RGB analog, and still mirror the iPad's screen at full iPad resolution.
I've rebooted several times already including holding the home and power buttons and sliding Off using my nose. Screen is almost correct but then zooms out so to speak. Everything on the periphery disappears into the border. "pinching" does nothing. Switching apps briefly brings it back to almost normal but then it zooms out again. Anyone have a solution that doesn't require a trip to the Apple store?
I like the thing, and I think it has a place in my life. But, the screen resolution just feels too low for me. Not so much when playing games or looking at pictures, but when reading text which is 95% of my iPad experience. When laying in bed with dim lights, reading websites the text just looks very grainy to me. I can't help but think this may improve in future generations. So it's back to the apple store I go before my 14 days are up.
Not sure I'm crazy about the screen resolution. It seems text is a little blurry. Book text seem a lot crisper on the iPhone. What does everyone else think?
What Screen Resolution Would A Retina Display Have ?
Nov 27, 2010
Firstly, yes I know "Retina Display" is just a brand/marketing term made up by Apple.But I think we all know the maths behind it was that someone with 100% eyesight, holding the device (the iPhone) at the distance that Apple felt was NORMAL for this screen size (3.5") could not see the individual pixels.Due to the maths of pixel size / distance / human eye resolving power.So that's all understood and agreed with.Given this, has anyone done the same maths for the iPad, and what actual screen resolution the iPad would have to be to be legitimately called a Retina Display by Apple.We have to understand of course that Apple would deem the iPad would be held at a greater distance away (in normal use) than the iPhone with it's 3.5" screen.
How Will An App With Lower Resolution Screen Appear On Ipad 3
Sep 4, 2012
Im about to purchase a game in the iOS app store, Final Fantasy 3. As far as I know, this game is a port from a Nintendo DS, wich has a very low resolution. Moreover, I read that while this look goods on a iphone, it doesnt look that good on an Ipad, because of the 1280x960 resolution. Now, there is the iPAd 3 with the insane retina resolution. how does this game, or any other application meant for a lower resolution screen appears on this new iPAD? Will I get like a micro screen within the iPad panel?
Here is my question concerning the new Retina Display and Remote Desktop usability. Will Remote Desktop clients be able to give you some more screen estate that the previous iPad couldn't?
I realize that maybe not MAX resolution because of how tiny the font would be, but what about being able to run a more reasonable resolution, like 1600x900 without scrolling around? Can a third party do this? Or is it totally up to Apple?
Screen Resolution - Appears To Be Hardware Related
Jul 28, 2010
Just wondering if anyone has seen anything similar to this. I just picked up a 64gb WiFi iPad after a few days on the waiting list. After a few minutes of use the top quarter of the screen freaks out. See the video I took here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYgd4S92gDgI'm going to make an appointment with a genius, but right now I'm just wondering if this is a widespread issue.
just got an iPad (for my wife) and like it so far. In fact, of course, I play most of the time with it But however, one thing I don't like is the screen resolution. I wonder why nobody wrote about this. With all hires screens and such, the pixelation of the iPad is really a bit retro. Nobody else noticed? Love it otherwise though, esp. the battery life.

1024x768 Screen On But Wont Play Videos At This Resolution?
Jul 21, 2010
Seeing the specs for the ipad as being a 1024x768 screen, I created h.264 videos from my DVDs at this resolution at a 10000Mb/s bit rate (I wanted HIGH quality). The converted videos play fine in Quicktime and iTunes but will not transfer to the ipad with itunes saying they cannot be played on this device. Can anyone help me understand if the ipad can play 720p HD video, why can't it play videos at the devices native resolution?Does anyone have the exact h.264 video specs that the ipad can handle?"H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
