Retina is a subjective term
Posted on June 22, 2012
I’m nearsighted and when I take my glasses off I can see pixels on a “retina” display clear as day.
One thought on “Retina is a subjective term”
I do also dislike the name of the screen (or the marketing, since that is what it really is). After using it for a couple weeks, it is nice though. Its much cleaner looking, and reading lines of code is easier, less aliasing and ghosted pixels. Added screen real-estate in applications that support retina displays is nice as well.
Still definitely a work-in-progress, but it is no doubt a large upgrade from the current mainstream panels.
