    I have had 4 galaxy s2 and 2 galaxy notes and while the screens are nice, the colours are too saturated, not to mention the burn-in especially with static images, I just bought an new galaxy tab 2 10.1 and it has one of the new PLS displays and it is really stunning and viewing angles are amazing, give me an PLS panel in a notebook any-day.

    That day isn't soon. AFAIR, OLED monitors and laptops are promised for a long, long time. Prices are currently, err, steep - Sony Product Detail Page BVMF250

    Previous predictions failed too. 2009: "Samsung: Consumers will see the first commercial OLED laptops a year from now" OLED notebooks to ship by late 2010, Samsung says | ZDNet

    I wonder how many people would actually care? I doubt that it's more than 10% of consumers who'd be willing to pay extra to get a better image quality on their laptops, and probably that 10% is grossly over-guessestimated. Even today, with H-IPS screens produced cheaply, TN panels in standalone monitors are not going anywhere. And, the result of LCD TV evolution over the years is edge-lit :(

    What we'll more likely see soon, I think, is megapixel race in monitors. Bigger numbers are always better, and 8MP monitor is, obviously, at least 4x better than the same with just Full HD. Selling better color reproduction is much harder, especially as a lot of content produced by users originated from cell phones, further degraded by instagram-like filters :)

    Why is the Retina MacBook Pro in such high demand if most people don't care about screen quality?

    its apple, its new, its high resolution and TBH its not that great of quality for color reproduction outside of the web. Zenbook has a better quality screen although less resolution as does a large number of clevo/sagers, a few thinkpads and a pile of business class units

    1) is it really in high, iPad-like, tens-of-millions/year units, demand? For one RMBP there is truckload full of 1366x768 glossy TN screens sold each day.

    2) the RMBP screen is more about megapixels, not as much about screen quality, color reproduction etc.

    Lenovo laptop screen? Military intelligence? Jumbo shrimp? Deafening silence?

    Serious joke.
