Retina iPad mini comes in 'distant third' in mini-tablet displays

On November 6 I wrote about how the Kindle Fire HDX lapped the iPad Air’s Retina Display in DisplayMate’s shootout of flagship tablet displays. That piece left me wondering how the display in the new Retina iPad mini would compare to the displays in the Kindle Fire HDX 7 and Google Nexus 7. Well, the other shoe just dropped.

Industry display expert Dr. Ray Soneira has built a reputation for his Display Shootouts in which he pits smartphone and tablet displays against one another and he just published his Mini Tablet Display Technology Shootout comparing the displays in the current crop of seven-inch tablets including the Retina iPad mini, Kindle Fire HDX 7, and Google Nexus 7.
