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.
