How anyone can say the display compared to the old display is not a huge improvement is beyond me.
You seem determined at least.

The display of the new iPad is absolutely gorgeous. No doubt about it. Yet, the display of my iPad 2, although not a retina display, is still remarkably bright and I can see words and images without difficulty. It's not a 3.5 inch display like on the iPhone. Therefore, if anyone says that they have trouble reading on the displays of the original iPad or the iPad 2, then their device is either turned off, their display is nonfunctioning, they're legally or completely blind or their eyes are closed.

That's the point! The display of the first two iPads is more than adequate as well as the specs of the iPad 2 and that is what a lot of people are witnessing when comparing to the new iPad or while considering an upgrade to the new iPad. My opinion in regard to upgrading from an iPad 2 is from a practical standpoint and not from a technical one....(snipped... Painful to look at the older screen once you are used to the high resolution of the new display. ...(snipped)

Besides screen having 4 times the pixels, me getting 30-40 Mbps download and 10-20 Mbps upload is huge if you want to use one with network. Camera is now usuable. Some people say it not a much of a upgrade. That can be said with any version. Going from the 1 to the iPad 2 gave a crappy 2 MP camera, thinner, and more RAM. Its all just opinion.
I completely disagree. As I was setting my new iPad 3 next to the iPad 2, I could tell right away which one is the new one. And I do think the screen alone is worth the upgrade, especially since you will get a pretty good value out of the iPad 2 if you sell it used. As someone said, it's like going from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4. Huge difference.
It does appear blurry compared to the retina display. I can pick out the individual pixels on the older devices very easily. It's like going from a 3GS to 4. Painful to look at the older screen once you are used to the high resolution of the new display. But that alone doesn't make the original iPad or 2 poor devices.
You must be staring awfully hard.
I guess it depends on what you're doing, but it is very very easy to detect the pixels on the iPad 2 especially when you're reading texts. I have a bad eyesight and I could still see them right away.
I totally understand why you wouldn't upgrade from iPad 2, though. What I don't understand is why you would buy the iPad 2 new. To each his own, I guess.

It's like going from a SD to HD television... You don't realize what you're missing until you see it, then when you do, there's no going back
