[quote][i]Originally posted by Balling[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by ed[/i] Vector graphics will appear very smooth - i.e. fonts will be rendered very nicely. I still don't understand why people don't get how a 'Retina Display' actually works - the best way to think about it is sub-pixel rendering on steroids. Things wont appear any smaller unless they're specifically meant to, like the video preview in Final Cut. [/quote] You're wrong. In web and our current UI's the only thing vector is fonts. All else is bitmap graphics. Today, developers have to make two different interfaces for their iPhone apps if they want them to work on both retina and older none retina displays. This goes for the iPad as well. This wont happen on the web though. Webdesigners aren't going to start making retina specific websites and until the retina Macs are more common software developers will not pay attention to it either. Take something simple as your browser window. I'm using Chrome, and the small house button (home page) next to the address bar is approximately 3 mm high on my work laptop (1440 x 900). This button will be 1,5 mm high on a retina screen. That's a very small button. [quote][i]Originally posted by ed[/i] the best way to think about it is sub-pixel rendering on steroids.[/quote] The retina screen will use the exact same kind of SPR as any other screen. As the pixels are smaller stuff will just appear sharper. Thinking high resolution has anything to do with SPR is just wrong. If anything, higher resolution screens will make SPR unnecessary. Not until they are true retina, above 300 PPI, though. [/quote]
