Yep. It's like high-gloss paper without the gloss. Very high resolution and
very smooth. Much easier to read than a standard paperback book.

He didn't say "lots of devices do this", he said "the iPhone does this".

I'm not saying it's the only or best way of phrasing it. But it's perfectly
good english to say "It will be John and I attending." You might reply that
on a wedding invitation or something, because it sounds a bit formal, but
it's nowhere near wrong.

Shouldn't that be "too deep"?

No arguments. It was “I coming tomorrow" I meant.

IIRC most CRTs could be set to run at almost any frequency up to some
maximum. 75 and 85 Hz was very common as 60 Hz gave quite bad
flickering. LCDs can easily manage 120 Hz now, even 480 Hz:
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2337668,00.asp
The problem is the TVs are designed to only accept 60 Hz signals and
create the inbetween frames themselves. If only they could allow higher
frame rate data to be supplied from outside we'd be sorted (also I have
no idea what limitations are in current graphics cards regarding high
framerates). It surely can't be far off, I expect 3D to drive the
change, as consoles/PCs will soon be required to send data at 120 Hz to
give 60 Hz to each eye.
