Next year expect to see 'retina-quality' displays on ultrabook laptops

Can you recall the display on your first handset? It was perhaps big enough to fit a whole telephone number – live alone a text message or a contact name. What about your smartphone? Whether displaying leveled-down, WAP versions of web page was asking too much. Now, such handsets we couldn't live without, and even sometimes, still, we surreptitiously wish they had bigger displays. Ultra-thin and lightweight laptops seek to feature even higher resolution displays come next year: Super-sharp "retina-quality" displays.

So, hold that bulk you intend to spend on a laptop for a few weeks to get these Ultrabooks. VR Zone confirmed that beginning next year, when Ultrabooks housing Intel's latest tech Ivy Bridge processor land, we can anticipate to see their 13.3-inch or 15.6-inch displays running resolutions as high as 2560 pixels by 1440 pixels – similar to the Apple's iPad 2 resolution (1024 pixels by 768 pixels).  Ultrabook Retina Displays

This sketch graph availed at the Intel Developer Forum a few weeks ago implies Intel is trying to copy the iPhone's fashionable Retina display in providing a screen with that kind of pixel density even the human eye can't differentiate individual pixels. Meaning, Ultrabooks could soon get smartphone-quality screens. In fact, this week Asus alleged that its 13.3-inch Zenbook UX31 brags a stunning high-resolution display (1600 pixels by 900 pixels); higher compared to both the Ultrabook Acer Aspire S3-951 and the MacBook Air.

But for those who need extremely high resolution display, they'll have to wait about six months for such Ultrabooks to land.
