Nice. Now if only they updated their desktop monitor range too, that would be something. They're all stuck at 1080p regardless of size.

I guess there's little commercial sense in aiming for higher resolutions when you can sell 1080p panels in bulk for TVs.

I'm a non-native English speaker, but shouldn't that read superior to, and I think you need a space after a comma.

I read about this display on many news sources, why link from a site that doesn't even proofread the title?!

Just waiting for Nokia to release a 800 dpi screen, the higher the number the more people will buy your product right?

That's awesome, and I have absolutely no intention of putting a 5" display into my pocket. I survived using old school WinMo slider smartphones and don't miss having a lump of heavy, expensive phone there constantly.

As bigger screens become the norm for new smartphones, I wonder if we will see a 5" iPhone 5.

"LG also claims that the high density of the display will make it impossible for the human eye to distinguish between individual pixels."

Wasn't that already true for Retina displays? Maybe I'm missing something but why keep increasing the PPI?
