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.)
I'm hoping the lack of touchscreen will make the display a little easier to read than the 800. I find looking at maps on the 800 with sunglasses on very difficult. More pixels is generally better.
