Thumbs up if you learned something! More info and devices: goo.gl/4Brfl Upvote on Reddit: goo.gl/48JoE ~ / mkbhd gplus.to/MKBHD / marquesbrownlee / mkbhd
Damn ! How much has this guy matured over the years.. and so have them gadgets. There’s a new tech innovation right around the corner every quarter of a year and all phones look / feel and perform pretty much the same. Gah ! Wish new gadgets were as exciting as before.
326 pixels per inch is still retina. Going 2k to 4K resolution displays for smartphones will only drain the phone battery since the phone has to light up more pixels on the screen. The big tablets can benefit from the 300 pixels per inch display range. I think the tablet market can grow from there (as well as improved photography features). End of comment. Lol!
Do you use VR cuz if you don't then you have no argument. 720 is awful. Don't believe me? Look it up any video shows so. Also I hold my phone closer to my face then most people so 720 is not good.
Lee Cason Good point. I use the Google Cardboard by the way (I'm too poor for proper VR). The pixel density and frame rate should be better for the VR experience. Currently the VR headsets are too expensive. I would prefer to buy wearable tech and accessories to compliment my smartphone. End of reply. 👽
Marques you are an amazing dude. Your clarity and superior articulation is one of the reasons I stay a LOYAL SUBSCRIBER! Thanks so much....continue to amaze us all.
That was absolutely perfect! Your information was spot on and 100% correct. I don't know how many times I have tried to explain that to other people and failed miserably. You sir, are awesome. Wish I could work with people like you!
Great explanation! I learned something...again!...thus, another thumbs up! Also (though I don't expect one always), I notice that you've been very hands on with replying to comments, including mine. Definitely the best "customer service" I've ever had from a TH-camr! It helps to build that bond! Keep up the good work with the videos!
Great job! very simple explanation that almost anyone could understand, good comparisons, and a general overview of the benefits of that technology..keep up the good work! -puts hand up for high 5-
@marquesbrownlee I really like the fact that you have replied to everyone of my comments. It is a good feeling that you not only read the comments but actually acknowledge the commenters. Thanks.
Glad you put this up, many people compare the resolution of their phones/tablets/laptops to TVs... which is nonsense. Viewing distance and density of the pixels plays such a big part.
Great video and explanation! I got a huge smile on my face when I saw this videos since I commented about ppi and viewing distance in your last video. ;) //Mike
In researching process for 4k TV i appreciated this video. Already bought Vizio 50" for $698! but not happy with it so I'm going to exchange for Samsung UN55HU6950. Anyways wanted to say i found it ironically funny that you said u didnt believe macbook with retina would be coming out, yet that is what i just watched this vid on. 2013 model, lol. Love all your videos Marques and appreciate what you do and also wanted to say it makes me smile to see a prediction like this. You're so good at everything you do, its nice to see your human once in a while. Thank you for sharing your passion with the world and thanks the inspiration. Hopefullly soon this year i can get my channel up and running.
Yes, you are right! I forgot it had a smaller (4.7") screen. Its still 1080p so it gives it the edge in ppi. Still not higher than that 521ppi rumored in the video almost 2 years ago! lol
nice video, it explained all about the pixels density; now would be nice a video explaining how demanding is for the hardware manage all that pixels and how they affect the performance when you have a program that runs that resolution as native and how it affects the image quality when the program is made for lower resolutions!!!
awesome videos, im tech savy but you know you can always learn something new and I just did so you have a brand new subscriber, thanks for the video by the way, thumbs up the video to lol
1:11 It may sound silly, but even in Europe we are used to screen diagonals like 23,8". Yeah, I wrote a comma there. That's Dutch notation for 23.8". As such we're used to using DPI even here. Also, it's a bigger number and 90 vs 140 is easier to discuss in talking than 3.5 vs 5.5. DPMM gets really small, see? Hence we prefer DPI. Silly? Yeah, silly, but practical. Hence.
@samueljakeoneill Not only does it have IPS technology which offers stunning accuracy, but the cinema display (actually thunderbolt display they call it these days) has a pixel count of 2560 x 1440. This gives you a LOT of space to work on.
@marquesbrownlee That's what I was trying to get across, but personally I prefer build quality (solid aluminum) - thunderbolt capability - inbuilt magsafe - HD webcam - speakers and dual mics, over having a DVI port. It's just in the video your point saying that "Precious Apple display which is superior in clarity and sharpness" makes it sound like it's a bad monitor just because of the PPI. When there are many other factors like it's contrast, sharpness and color sync which matter in quality.
Yes it has. Same with the new iPad. But the thing you didn't notice is that this vid was made ALMOST 7 MONTHS AGO! Both devices weren't out yet when this vid was made :P
Very good video, besides some corrections. You need to double and triple check before sitting down and shooting the video. :) p.s.: The outro is super-cool!
Retina display is not a set PPI its the PPI needed for the viewing type(average distance), for it's display area, for the average person to not be able to distinguish between pixels and the black space. Where as a 40 inch 1080P TV is probably a retina display at it's normal viewing distance, a VR helmet might need a PPI of over 1000 to be considered retina, because to pot it in scale, you're standing 2 feet away from a 50 inch screen
@marquesbrownlee Ups, I sit pretty close to it. It's even in my bedroom which probaly is 2 by 2! I will take a good look at it when I'm back at home today! lol
WHY DONT YOU HAVE MORE SUBSCRIBERS, MORE VIEWS, MORE LIKES, MORE FAVORITES?!?!?! YOU'RE AMAZING! BEST TH-camR OF TECH IN ALL OF HISTORY!!! PEOPLE NEED TO FIND YOU. THIS WORLD IS BECOMING A SAD SAD PLACE!!
"I wouldn't bet on a Retina Macbook Pro" *Typing on a Retina Macbook Pro*
Lmfao same shit here watching it on a 4K oled tv 😂
MKBHD in his glory days
Omg! fetus Marques!

4 years later iphones still have 720p...

750p

I'm not a big fan of smart watches. But I will buy vr when I get the money, but I've used my friends.
Whoa, blast from the past!
Marques you are an amazing dude. Your clarity and superior articulation is one of the reasons I stay a LOYAL SUBSCRIBER! Thanks so much....continue to amaze us all.
Great video, simple yet informative! MKBHD is the boss, hope you continue doing this for a long time.
Yes, 7 years is a long time :)

Keep up the good work with the videos!
8 year old video and still on the top of the search results for pixel density. And as always, nice work MKBHD.
This is has been very educational and yet a lot more entertaining than a textbook. Thank you sir!
You explained the whole pixel display perfectly! Great job,man!
Great job! very simple explanation that almost anyone could understand, good comparisons, and a general overview of the benefits of that technology..keep up the good work! -puts hand up for high 5-
wow, your videos are getting much better!...keep up the good work.
Marques youre the best tech reviewer as you talk about batteries, oled displays and other displays and you explain it
Watching this 9 years later..... Lol
@marquesbrownlee I really like the fact that you have replied to everyone of my comments. It is a good feeling that you not only read the comments but actually acknowledge the commenters. Thanks.
Dude this vide is one of the most great explained videos for display density! :D Really thank you! :D
It's 2020 and Marques never let go of those cheerio boxes lol
man your diction has improved a lot since you posted this
Glad you put this up, many people compare the resolution of their phones/tablets/laptops to TVs... which is nonsense. Viewing distance and density of the pixels plays such a big part.
Thanks for the very clear explanation Marques!
It's very neat to look at this video and just think of how much tech has evolved in the past coupes years.
Really good explained, keep up the good work!
Short Simple and amazing! Loved watching it!
really useful! congratulations dude, you've got a new subscriber!
Great video and explanation! I got a huge smile on my face when I saw this videos since I commented about ppi and viewing distance in your last video. ;)

Awesome video well explained the math helped big time !
i never see a video with 1 in 8 liking it. says something about your awesome vids!
Thx for all the informations

That's a very good video! Thanks!
Beautifully explained!!! Go retina displays!!! Thanks bruh!!!
Great video man!
Love how you used the cwm wallpaper.
You explain it so well
Awesome! Im really holding put for samsung's HD tablet for it to be my first tablet!
Amazing video man
I already knew about pixel density but this is a great video for the uninformed! :)
great vides..just learned about pixels in my data class. this video add more to it.

Thanks. And very quick reply.
Ah the good ol days
Thanks man, great explanation!
So how many PPI do you think are ideal for a 10" tablet and 7" tablet?
sick vid man
just saw them cheerios in the mkbhd studio tour by linustechtips
Very good video, besides some corrections. You need to double and triple check before sitting down and shooting the video. :)
p.s.: The outro is super-cool!
Nicely done
Thanks! This is helpful.
Nicely explained.
sup Marques. Im in 2021. lovin’ the Pixel density on my iPad pro! :)
Just passing by in 2021 as well to say hello! :)
i just sub to ur channel wow lots of good info love ur channel

Man. You're finer here in 2012 than now. Mkbh²d. First H for handsome.
hey man, great video!
As a quick correction though, the iPhone's resolution is 960x640. 960x540 is qHD.
thanks for the explanation!
Thanks for the info
If the iPad does come out as rumored it is going to look awesome.
Hey Marques, what camera do you use and what camera would use recommend for under £250, please respond.
I learnt something from the video yay!!!

He got now
@basscatcher98 he has a mac mini, he made a few videos showing him working on it and upgrading the parts, its quite the machine
(+1) & Subscribed, I kinda knew all this already just loved watching you tell me I'm right,except I can convert it to pixels per sq. millimeter.
i'm a nexus user and i subscribed man. good stuff :)
Are you still?
Anyone here in 2022?
