This is especially noticeable when compared with the standard browser Safari. The same is true for the Steam client and the Kindle. In general, most Mac-software could not cope with the task (with clear information on the Retina), indicates the edition.

Of course, the identified problem will be solved soon. However, if its just ordered a MacBook Pro Retina you find a discrepancy between the quality of an application needs super fine computer display, you'll have to wait until the developers release a new version.

Japan Display presented a screen that is two times more clearly in the Retina iPhone 4S

It is known that the density of pixels in displays Retina, which are equipped with smart phones iPhone 4/4S, is 326 dpi. In fact, the very title of the standard ("Retina") comes from the fact that the human eye can not distinguish the individual points on this screen and everything on it is displayed very clearly.

 

However, technology is not standing still, and manufacturers are producing more and more advanced LCD panel. Thus, in late May, the Korean company LG pleased with the news that its laboratories are hard at work on the creation of super fine widescreen display, which at the diagonal into 5-inch has a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Thus, a density of pixels - 440ppi.

But engineers at Japan Display decided to outdo their Korean counterparts. According to them, even such clarity is not sufficient.

 Comparison of Japan Display screen with a display in the Retina iPhone 4S

The screen, which announced the Japanese company, has a diagonal of 2.3 inches, but its resolution is 1280 × 800 pixels. The display boasts an incredible density of 651 dots per inch.

[Samsung Version] Why Samsung did not use Retina-Display

The quality and characteristics of the display - the most important feature of today's mobile devices. When you select gadgets for everyday use consumers sometimes even less concerned about the software, rather than the possibility of their screens.

It is known that the main supplier of Retina-displays for the iPad tablet is a third generation Korean Samsung, which at the same time - one of Apple's main rivals in the mobile market. The question arises: why Samsung did not release a tablet on Android, which will display the same super shine as the new iPad?

According to Samsung, the company does not rely on LCDs, although it has a good base for the production of such components. The main reason, according to its representatives, is that Samsung is the only manufacturer in the world that produces screens based on the Super AMOLED technology on a massive scale.

While such displays have disadvantages compared to LCD rivals, excellent brightness, contrast, good visibility in direct sunlight and low power consumption makes a good alternative SAMOLED LCD screens, including Apple Retina, says Samsung.

Currently the company is going to release a new line of "Super-Amoled" who can compare with the Retina-screen pixel density. This means that Koreans again try to overtake its U.S. rival by offering a series of gadgets with similar characteristics, but operating on the basis of the operating system Android.
