Which tablet to get?

Ok. For anyone else I think there's a pretty obvious difference between the tf101 and a retina or near retina display, as seen in these pictures.

Sure it's obvious when you're about 3 inches from the screen taking macro pictures. I dare say that most people, in fact I'll even up it to almost everybody, will not look at a TF101-class DPI and go "ZOMG TEH PIXALS R BLINDING ME".

When people are still putting up with 15" 1366x768 displays without much fuss, there's no point in pointing out the differences in those two displays to the average person.

I've got a Transformer TF101 and I can't see the pixels.

What's your phone?

I may have said something like this (about my Prime) before my GNex, but no such luck after.

Actually I had a personal experience with the issue..I was comparing a Nexus 7 and an ipad 2 a few months ago, trying to decide which to keep.

The ipad 2 screen rez was so poor compared to the Nexus 7 I realized I wouldn't be happy with an ipad without a retina screen, so I kept the Nexus 7.

Screen rez with tablets is more critical than with a laptop, at least in my experience a tablet is held closer to my eyes than a laptop.
