ASUS Crams 1920x1200 Pixels Super IPS+ Display Into 10.1" Transformer Pad Infinity

[btarunr]

Till Apple's 2048x1536 pixel Retina Display materializes with the iPad 3, ASUS can stake claim to having a 10-inch tablet with the highest pixel-density on its display. The new Transformer Pad Infinity (formerly known as Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF700T in its CES exhibition), packs a 1920x1200 Super IPS+ display with a capacitive touchscreen. The tablet is convertible to a netbook by attaching a base dock that gives it a keyboard and trackpad. It is driven by NVIDIA Tegra3 4+1 core processor clocked at 1.60 GHz, with a customized version of Google's Android OS.

Yes! At last we are seeing higher resolutions and higher pixel densities. Let's hope this migrates very quickly to x86 laptop/desktop screens. (and not just tablet toys)

Yea, throw these things in laptops and screw tablets...

No mention that the big ugly bar of plastic covering the front camera is all thanks to a massive design flaw asus made with the TF-201 I wonder if they smartened up and discontinued using pogo pins for the antennas while they were at it... Not surprised about the name change either.

 

[Prima.Vera]

Really nice. Are they using 200% DPI settings on that one?? )

 

[Octavean]

No mention of price,….

 

[MikeMurphy]

Pre-empting the iPad3 retina display...

Finally higher resolutions

 

[wolf]

they're going spare on tegra 3 tablets! maybe I could sell my TF101 and upgrade to the prime or TF300...

Do want! Looks great! and 16:10!

 

[Steevo]

I was excited till I saw the bezel. So is it actually a 8" screen? Or a 10.1 and it is a foot long?

 

[Horrux]

Very sleek.

I would love to hold one of these in my hands. I'm all for high res and perfer it, but I'm not sure how readable text will be on a 10inch display at 1200p.

 

[Flanker]

when you see a tablet is having higher res than your pc screen, you know you are falling behind...

Not really. PC Monitors are kind of in limbo and have been sitting on 1920x1080 for a couple years now. There are 2560x1600 or 2560x1440 offerings, but they cost a fortune.

Why the hell have PC monitors moved from 16:10 to 16:9 whereas these Android tablets are going to 16:10 (eg. 1280x800 and 1920x1200)!?

I sure wish 1920x1200 monitors were still being made. Shame we are supposed to get better with technology over time but have regressed to 1920x1080 monitors instead. :shadedshu

I love my transformer, bloody good thing to have. I welcome the advances here

Change the text dpi settings. What's the problem?

I wouldn't mind a screen with that high a res but it would need to be more than a plain old TN Panel while capable for gaming use. :shadedshu

While 120Hz would be sweet; I'd settle for 60Hz for the right price (if only due to the GPU power needed to drive such a display otherwise).

Coming back on topic, these new screens (10.1" Display area or screen size including Bezel ) are promising for future screen tech elsewhere
