So when selecting “Best” this puts the screen into retina mode. These options give you an indication on how the screen would look on a similar resolution on a non retina screen as listed below. In the display preferences pane, Apple has given you 5 options from “Larger Text” to “Best” (Retina) to “More Space”. Rather than being presented with a list of resolutions you instead get a list of scaling options as shown below.

One aspect of Mac OS X that has changed is the Display preference pane. The OS decides which version to display based on the display. A lower resolution version and a version for the retina display. This is how iOS works, for every graphic two versions are supplied. When it comes to bitmapped images, the OS will scales these up to fit the extra pixels unless the developer has supplied a higher resolution version which in that case the OS will substitute for that. Adobe have modified these dialogs, adding there own functionality, so on the retina they will not make sure of the extra pixels so look slightly ‘fuzzy’. An example of an open dialog not looking great on this display are the ones found in the Adobe programs. Apps that use standard menus, standard open/save dialogs, standard toolbars should all look crisp on the new display.
For instance if an app uses vector based graphics or displays text using Apple’s API’s then all should be good. Notice I say some apps, more on this later.
Which means you can set the UI elements of an application to one and the actual content its displaying to another.Īpple have made sure that their key modern API’s will make best use of the retina display, thus saving developers a lot of time which also means some apps will automatically make use of the retina display.
Different regions of the screen can have different backing scales. Whats interesting about this backing scale is that it is not a global setting for the entire screen. When set to 2.0 you get the retina mode where each point is represented by 4 pixels. When set to 1.0 you get the traditional one to one point to pixel mapping. When an application draws to the screen it can set a backing scale factor, either 1.0 or 2.0. On the retina display this square would now be 20 pixels by 20 pixels, offering more pixels for more detail. As an example, which is shown below, on an old display if you drew a square 10 points by 10 points, the actual image drawn would be 10 pixels by 10 pixels. So one point would be represented by one pixel where as on the retina display we now have 1 point being represented by 4 pixels, offering a much higher resolution, sharper image. On traditional, non retina displays, we have a one to one relationship between pixels and points. When it comes to how Mac OS X and applications drive the display, its very similar to how iOS works. This might be the machine you consider adding Appe Care to. If you need to replace the screen the unit including the bezel is now one piece. This has an advantage that you are less likely to see trapped dust particles between the layers of glass but if you scratch the display you will now be scratching the lcd panel itself. So now you have two pieces of glass but the outermost piece now integrates the bezel. The other thing you will notice is that Apple has done away with the traditional cover glass we have seen on all of Apple’s recent laptops. However this is considerably less than the iPhone 4S with has 326 pixels per inch. With a resolution of 220 pixels per inch its the highest density consumer notebook on the market today. Compared to Apple’s 27-inch Thunderbolt Display it offers 44% pixels and to the old 30-inch display 26%.
Its extremely high resolution, offering a native resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels. The display itself is Apple’s first retina display on a non iOS device. After spending a week with it here is an article that covers how it works and some of the problems you may face. The display of Apple’s retina MacBook is a stunning piece of engineering.
