On the contrary. Pentile matrix is better suited for graphics and images, resulting in softer details. But for text, which you want sharp, it's actually fuzzy and harder on the eyes. Anyone who does a lot of reading on their phone should stay away from pentile matrix displays.
Good points. Legible text is the bottom line, and if it's fuzzy then I won't want to use it at length even if it has lighter battery usage. But IIRC Microsoft's ClearType (their LCD anti-aliasing method) initially had people worried about fuzzy text, while nobody complains now.
I'm not sure that pentile will be better for graphics and images though. The Atrix uses RGBW, which may give good brightness at the expense of not very vivid colors. I'm actually waiting for the Bionic, and I'm not sure anybody knows what panel technology it's using.
