QuoteWhere the Yoga 900 offered a 3K (3200 x 1800) panel
The Yoga display was not 3200x1800. Lenovo calls it that, you call it that, but the Yoga display was never 3200x1800, it was RG/BW Pentile.

RG/BW is a cheap trick used by manufacturers to gain the ability to advertise a particular resolution, without actually achieving the full detail of the resolution itself. They put 3200x1800 on the specs list, you see 3200x1800 in your display settings, but your actual display can only show a downsampled version of that, since it only has half the required number of RGB dots to display that many pixels independently.

The only laptops to have real 3200x1800 were the Dell XPS/Precision laptops, Razer Blade laptops, Fujitsu Lifebook, and the select few others that sourced the real-3200x1800 Sharp IGZO LCD. Everything else was/is RG/BW. There's a huge difference, and it is a disrespect to the laptops that did truly achieve 3200x1800 that the Yoga got to advertise right alongside them.

False-resolution displays hurt the display market because they are less practical and produce poorer quality pictures than even lower-resolution true-RGB displays (i.e. 2560x1440 in 13.3"), despite requiring higher computational cost. We need to take a stand against RG/BW, and a critical step is to stop doing exactly what you have done in this article and many others: referring to them by their falsely advertised resolutions, without even so much as a mention of the truth about them.

But the good news is the new Yoga is looking to be a real 4K 3840x2160! https://www.reddit.com/r/Lenovo/comments/59phqu/my_yoga_910_review_4ki716gb512gb/d9buv56/ Really gotta commend Lenovo on this one. They've ditched Pentile in both the IdeaPad Y-Series and the Yoga. Seems they're really listening to their customers and trying to make up for past mistakes. Still waiting on Samsung, Dell (Inspirons not XPS), MSI, and HP to follow suit though.
