ProPrint‘s sister title, BIT, calls the screen “the most important part of any tablet”.

“Unlike any internal component, the screen is what you’ll still be noticing a week after your purchase, the part upon which all of your attention is focused.”

The new iPad had a “groundbreaking 1536×2048 panel – that’s four times the iPad 2’s 768×1024 resolution in exactly the same 9.7in diagonal”.

It also has sharp text, sharp images and excellent colour saturation, according to BIT.

“Put simply, the new screen is a revelation, and if you find you’ve stopped actively marvelling at it after an hour or so, a trip back to an iPad 2 will be a shock to the system – it’s like going back to a standard-definition TV after watching Full HD.”
