Libra 1 that I have and am fine with
E Ink Carta display
300 PPI
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 Carta 1200 screens which as far as I know, are used by both the Sage and Libra 2 offer 20% faster response times and a 15% increase in the contrast ratio. On my Sage, the blacks definitely look blacker than on my Forma.

A quick Google or other search on Carta 1200 would likely have given you this information.

BTW, the Libra H2O is a capacitive touch device with a 7" screen. Given the Sage, Forma, Libra H2O and Libra 2 have 300 DPI screens, it only make sense the smaller screen has lower resolution.
