For context that's more pixels than my Edge 800 and they're going into a smaller screen. I've never really felt like the 800
needed more pixels. On the other hand, a $75 smart phone has as many pixels in every square inch. More pixels would allow better mapping and graphing. (Even Garmin's new watches can show you a graph of your heart rate or power output over the last 30 minutes.)
More pixels lower battery life. And unlike a smartphone, you're not needing lots of detail on a computer...you just need enough to read numbers from 1/2 a meter away or make out a map.
