The talk you comment on was about random low res video's performance. Low res as opposed to HD in the thread's title. Not about the N9's screen being low resolution. It is not. It has a too low PPI count to please some eyes, but that is a different story and surely not relevant in video's. The resolution of the N9's display is fine for video's displayed on that surface size. If only the hardware could keep up in playing anything non-HD you throw at that would be great. And if it would be capable of real time down-sampling 720 and 1080p content that would be even greater. But that is not the case.
