The light guide is acting as an anti-aliasing filter. The screen also has a "texture" to it which the camera may have picked up.

The digital camera that was used to take the picture likely had an anti-aliasing filter as well. (99.99% of them do...)

If the interaction of the filters comes out right you will not be able to resolve the pixels with the camera. Most digital cameras never show pixelation on real world scenes due to their anti-aliasing filter.

This is so "much ado about nothing". It is like there are a bunch of people who decided not to buy a PW who want to find a way to put the device down so they can feel better about it. Very bizarre. Why spend lots of time talking about not buying a PW? It's very unproductive.

I never see pixels on paper books either.. but paper books still look great. Would you argue that a book printed on a crappy 1980s dot matrix printer looked better then a crisp laser print or something that came off a printing press?
