Not on a 13" display.
How come we don't see that type of quality on PC monitors?
My IBM T221 from 2001 says hello and that Apple is only 11 years late.
looked better than my 23" Asus 120Hz monitor
The PC monitor industry has a vastly dysfunctional disconnect with the consumer. There is absolutely no communication from the consumer to the industry. I don't think it has ever occurred to them to think about what the consumer might want.
No matter how much you hate Apple, you've got to admit that Apple is the only tech company in the past 10 years that has shown any interest whatsoever in increasing display quality for consumers.

omg Apple users.
2560x1440px was never the next PPI step 4k will be and then 8k. And a 15" screen would be too small for me even on a laptop.
I can understand some people play more for a 27"-30" 2560x1440px but a 13"-15" 2560x1440px LOL.
Apple don't communicate with consumers either - or ?. They are brilliant at thinking out-of-the box and come up with new brilliant ideas or features the users didn't think they needed, but (as sales results show) do appreciate.The PC monitor industry has a vastly dysfunctional disconnect with the consumer.

In the display industry, Apple has done very little.

I think he means for the PC monitor segment
Yes, but only because LG/Samsung can produce the panels with a now pretty matured LCD technology with high yields, and because Apple choose to place very large orders.Apple pushes high resolutions into the consumer space. Which is a very big deal to me, a consumer. Yes, there have been $10000 specialized displays before, but really that doesn't do me any good.
As far as the desktop goes, I still lament the premature demise of CRT tech for the usual reasons. (And Sony had advances, such as a 0.15mm stripe pitch display, we never even got to see released.)
That said, within the limits of the technology, the "retina" high dpi approach is something very real. Haven't had the pleasure of seeing the new MacBooks, but the difference between the iPad 2 and the third one is night and day to my eyes. Very happy Apple is popularizing high dpi displays...
Because of the popularity, will PC start to adopt PC monitors with these type of displays? Perhaps we are really living in a POST PC Era :X

Certainly wasn't as cheap back then, but you could pick one up 5 years later for a more reasonable sum (and very little today). You can also modify them to work past 48hz.we gonna act like it was affordable back then?
also, hello 48hz
It sucks the PC industry can't keep up with Apple's retina (high resolution) displays !!

In the display industry, Apple has done very little. They have picked up ideas that were abandoned by IBM in 2005 in their joint venture company with Chi Mei called "ID Tech". That was probably the first time that someone else besides Hitachi manufactured IPS panels, and researched in increasing the pixel density beyond what was seen before. That was in 2001-2002 and resulted in 15" laptop QXGA displays, 20.8" QXGA and 22" WQUXGA (among others). Consumers were just not able to pay the price for such high resolutions at that time.... or good LCDs in general. Heck, my first LCD at work was no-name 15" XGA, TN with only 1x VGA input, very crappy image quality, and it costed $400.
By the way, the Imac G4 20" WS used a panel from ID Tech.

Apple was the first to bring 2560x1600 to consumers, and it was unique to Apple for a couple of years.
300+ dpi to smartphones?
250+ DPI tablet?
2880x1800 laptop?
2560x1600 laptop?
I would also bet on Apple being first to bring 4K monitor to the consumer space.
why do you say the "PC" industry.. Apple does not make displays... neither does the "PC" industry... usually LG or Samsung make the panels, but apple surely paid an arm and a leg for their new displays.
Not sure if serious on your first paragraph.. if so .. please see

Apple pics up most of it's ideas...as do most companies.
Apple just integrated them on their products, LG ans Samsung made all those panels, they build nothing but design.
