Did anybody see this from Mary Lou back in May? I sure missed it: http://pixelqi.com/blog1/2008/05/27/higher-resolution-than-we-thought-the-xo-laptop-screen/
The XO screen has been shown to be higher resolution than we thought. Michiel Klompenhouwer from Philips Research says the color resolution is effectively 984×738, even though strictly speaking straight division indicates color resolution of 692×520 (this is 1/3 of 1200×900 our black&white resolution). We have been saying for some time that the resolution is about 800×600, but his new study shows a more exact way of measuring perceived resolution. Michiel presented an analysis of the our screen and other display pixel layouts at the Society for Information Display Annual Meeting this week in Los Angeles in a talk entitled "Comparing the Effective Resolution of Various RGB Subpixel Layouts" SID08. Can someone think of where to document this on the wiki off hand?
