Pentile should never have been on the N9. that was half *** decision making on the part of NOKIA. I agree with you, screen on n900 is much better than N9. The colors are not over-saturated and resolution is great. N900 is on par with iphone 4, N9 is on par with inferior screens. There were links here while back to where some guys scientifically, under the microscope showed you what badness is pentile

So, yes, you are right. N9 screen is a definite disadvantage compared to N900.
