Then show her the AMOLED screen of Nexus One that has a similar (though slightly lower) resolution.


Seriously? To my eye, verticals look ragged on that screen, thanks to the not-nearly-as-high-res, hexagonal pixels.

Edit: I see discussion of gamut. To quote http://www.displaymate.com/Nexus_One_ShootOut.htm: The Color Gamut of the Nexus One is much larger than the industry standard … which is actually bad because it makes all colors appear too strong and over-saturated. … all they do it distort the colors in the images and photos on-screen

What good is it to have a larger gamut if the software doesn't support it? All graphics online & in apps use standard sRGB color space information. There’s simply nothing to display outside of that gamut in 99.9%+ of cases.


This situation perfectly demonstrates what has been what is, and will continue to be, Apple's unique advantage: true hardware and software integration. iOS may be behind o features, but the software is only part of the story.


There is absolutely no comparison. The nexus one can't even render all colours properly.


No screen can render all colours properly, and from what I've read the AMOLED screen on the Nexus One has a far larger colour gamut.
