    Expert Says iPhone's 'Retina' Display Claim is False

    ClemHThe LEDs are not red, green, blue, OR yellow. They are white. The tv is an _LCD_ tv... the LEDs are for the backlighting. The same principal would apply to an LED display. Adding a primary yellow accomplishes very little. Though this is not to say we shouldn't expand on the adobe RGB...
