It needs to be denser because it's closer to your face (ie. you can see the pixels). It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to make a TV with the pixel density of an iPad - because it's viewed farther away. It doesn't need to be sharper. No ones eyesight is that good. The difference is how much of your view the screen takes up. An iPad at 10in away takes up more of your view than a 40in tv at 10ft - i.e. [B]it appears bigger[/B]. And most cable companies don't deliver true HD (compressed). So an iPad is bigger and as crisp if not crisper than a tv with cable. Science! [/QUOTE]
