Matters to whom, scientists with microscopes? This device has a 4.3 inch screen with a 800x480 resolution, which is higher than a native DVD picture. 60-inch plasmas output 1080 vertical lines, which is only twice as many as this tiny screen. Making the screen an inch smaller is not a benefit to the person who will be watching a movie on this device, even if you increase pixel density by x1000. In other words, this screen is fine.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
