Look at the photo above by Engadget. On the left is the new iPod touch with the Retina Display. On the right is the Retina Display in the iPhone 4. These are not the same Retina Displays. The one in the iPod touch sucks: when viewed at angles con­trast goes out the door and col­ors shift so much that they look like crap. IPS is known for look­ing great when viewed at dif­fer­ent angles and my guess is that the Retina Display on the iPod touch ain’t no IPS; it is some cheap TN-based 3.5-inch LCD sport­ing a 960×640 pixel for­mat. I wouldn’t touch it. Especially if it means I need to part ways with US$229. There might be no peer to the iPod touch but the dis­play sim­ply isn’t what Apple wants you to believe it is; the “Retina Display” on the iPod touch is a fake ver­sion of the real thing.
