Intel should just wait for their value to decrease an just buy them.

 

[A Bad Day]

Ah, I was thinking about purchasing some shares in Sharp, then decided against it, then this...

IGZO displays are awesome, I really hope that Intel gets those into Ultrabooks in the near future.

... but if you wait too long your chance may be gone !

If it makes Ultrabooks much cheaper for us consumers. Why not?.

 

[aznshinobi]

IGZO's pretty amazing but Samsung's Flexible AMOLED should be of interest too for the Ultrabook form factor IMO.

This is basically equivalent to the crap that Crapple is using in all their "Retina" junk, no? The whole idea is this ridiculously excessive resolution, no? Why is Intel so obsessed with making Crapbook Air clones? *just waiting for ARM to start making laptop processors*

Yes, because somehow higher-resolution displays are a bad thing.

Higher resolutions are hardly a bad thing.
The problem is in lousy/inefficient ('cheap and cost effective') materials being used to create them which limits their efficiency, capabilities, etc. (this practice is prominent throughout the capitalist industry sadly regardless of the premise we can create superior synthetic materials in abundance for decades that allow us to make technology light years ahead of what is currently in use).

You seriously need to seek mental assistance. There is no industry wide conspiracy to use anything sub-par. If there really was some "superior synthetic material" that we've been able to "produce in abundance for decades" that enabled "technology light years ahead of what we currently use", then that is what we'd be using.

So please, enlighten us, what are some of these materials? And what makes them better than the display in the article?

...as long as you're using resolution-independent Metro apps, not desktop applications, which of course is what Microsoft wants you to do. The sooner it can phase out the desktop, with its anarchistic/libertarian philosophy of letting you install and run whatever software you want, the better...

...for Microsoft's bottom line; not for consumers, of course.

I brought a 60" in sharp LED TV for £1000, really cheap considering that the only thing different with the Samsung is Smart features with 55" in at £2500. The screen quality is absolutely the same too. I really want to see Sharp competing again as they still seem to have it and before I had a Sony Bravia. Please Sharp don't sell, you can do it!
