[quote][i]Originally posted by Nismo[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Balling[/i] How the fuck did Apple suddenly forget what the word 'retina' was all about? They introduced the Retina Display only two years ago. New MBP is only 220 PPI, which is awesome, but hardly retina... [quote][i]Originally posted by Nismo[/i] if it uses the same principal as the retina display on the phones then that would be ok as the res stays the same but the definition is far higher.[/quote] That will only work for vector elements which in a web environment is more or less narrowed down to text. An 800x600 image or graphic will still take up 800x600 pixels unless you zoom to 200 % in which case it wont be retina anymore. In reality this poses a bit of an issue. Current 15" screens have two common resolutions: 1440x900 or 1680x1050. On a 15" screen this translates to the following pixels per inch: 1440 = 110 PPI 1680 = 128 PPI 2880 = 220 PPI (new MBP display) 800 pixels will have a physical size of: 1440 = 7,3" 1680 = 6,3" 2880 = 3,6" Everything is going to look TINY while browsing the web. The solution? Zoom to 200% and get less sharp images than on the 1680 high res displays... That said, in every other instance than web use, this will mean very little and you'll only see the advantages. High res photographs are going to look incredible and once developers start incorporating the extra pixel real estate in user interfaces it will come in very handy. [/quote] Good breakdown, that clears it up for me. But not good if 80% of my work is web development :lol: its already awkward as I have to cross check everything using a standard res PC to see how it works. [/quote]
