Without having seen it, or even good pictures of it, I would assume the color mode would still have full resolution, but that colors would appear "wrong" but not neccessarily less detailed.

You guys do know that there is no full color pixel? At least when i look at the recent display comparisons, it's always a matrix of different red, green, blue pixels:

I'm guessing this screen uses something like this: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2010/03/secrets-of-the-n...

A matrix of color pixels is less noticable when you have 200-350PPI, vs something like 80PPI on a netbook.

Of course, but the point is that there are usually (e.g.) 1024 red pixels, 1024 green pixels, and 1024 blue pixels, per-row. This screen has 1024 color pixels per-row total, in a novel layout.
