1,680 x 1,264 (I can see the resolution is smaller but understandable given its smaller?)
Small recess =using Neonode Z Force IR technology for the screen interactions."
7 inch
The Libra 1 is capacitive, not IR.

The resolution on the Forma is the same as the Sage. But contrast is said to be better on the Sage (i.e. darker text).

The same goes for the Libra 1. Both the Sage and the Libra 2 have clearly darker font than the Libra 1 has.

The Forma and the Sage both have flush screens. The Libra 1 and 2 have recessed screens. But none of them have IR (infrared) screens, all are capacitive.
