Reviewers tend to dwell on the pixel density without mentioning the other things I want to know about the display: the color gamut, contrast, color accuracy, etc. This article mentions that the screen is "accurate," but it's a mystery what they mean by that or why they think so. One usually needs to wait for measurements reported in anandtech.com before one knows how a display actually performs.
