As I said, small 250dpi (125lpi) screens are only starting to be released. Such screens are two-thirds the resolution of mainstream offset-on-coated print and you can't get them in sizes larger than an envelope. It's taken a decade for this to happen, and it's still nowhere near good enough.
When will display technology be able to provide 300dpi on even a 10" screen?
The fact is that print is still so much cheaper than doing it electronically that there's very little incentive to invest the huge sums that will be needed to improve the manufacturing processes sufficiently.
