Same display as an iPad Air, so my experience can answer your question.

It is easy on the eyes and an overall great experience. The Retina Display is so sharp the eye cannot see the pixels. That means it is as sharp as it ever needs to be. Making it sharper, while possible, I'm sure, gives no real world improvement in readability.

The only downside is in bright sunlight. Between glare and "fading" it is hard to read when the sun is shining on the screen. Turn it so the sun is behind it and it is again readable.

I give the iPad a 5 our of 5 in terms of the screen.
