Micosoft surface tab display quality is better than iPad?

Referring to screen resolution as only one element affecting detail seen on the screen, Bathiche talked up a technical measurement called Modulation Transfer Function, which he described as a combination of contrast and resolution. "Without good contrast, resolution decreases," said Bathiche.
And in this area, Surface apparently gets the edge as a result of Microsoft's ClearType display technology.
"The amount of light in a room and the reflections off the screen have a huge effect on the contrast of the display," Bathiche said. "In fact, a small amount of reflection can greatly reduce contrast and thus the perceived resolution of the display. With the ClearType Display technology we took a 3 pronged approach to maximize that perceived resolution and optimize for battery life, weight, and thickness."

Looking at Surface, though not officially, Bathiche said the amount of light reflected off Microsoft's tablet was measured at around 5.5 percent to 6.2 percent. In contast, the light reflected off the iPad was larger at 9.9 percent.
"Doing a side by side with the new iPad in a consistently lit room, we have had many people see more detail on Surface RT than on the Ipad with more resolution," Bathiche added.
However, another person challenged Bathiche, asking why Microsoft opted for a higher resolution in the Windows Pro version of Surface.See More
