Display
The Lumia 720 features a 4.3-inch IPS LCD display, with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 217 pixels per inch. While not the sharpest on the market even at its release, the display was enhanced by Nokia's ClearBlack technology and Corning Gorilla Glass 2, which both improved contrast and offered decent scratch resistance. The display was particularly noted for its solid contrast ratio, ensuring that images and text appeared clear and vibrant in most lighting conditions, although readability in direct sunlight was less than stellar.
