I remember a lot of Sammy-fanboys bashed the iPad 3 because they said a Galaxy Tab with a 2560×1600 screen would come soon. And now you're starting again --'

At least they weren't lying about it based on the court document confirmed during the trial. I guess they're waiting for Exynos5 which is the right thing to do

Then get a Mac!

That would be only newest MacBook Pro with Retina screen.

I'm a heavy desktop user. I'll rather wait for display manufacturers to catch up now that they have been approved by the Leader.

Is display ppi your only criteria for buying a desktop?

No. But it's very important. It's more like something that should have been available to professionals for over a decade (true DTP/photography, WYSIWYG typography, no antialising in 3D etc.), but it wasn't.

Super high resolution panels have been available for a long time but they're usually with larger screen (27"+) monitors since Windows has poor DPI font scaling. For photography, the rMBP doesn't have a great panel due to its low color spectrum. If you have the money or are using it for business, check out Eizo. For color sensitive applications, nothing beats the ColorEdge line. I use the RadiForce line for work (medical).

Eizo is great, but also expensive. Dream Color HP works just as well for much less. Anyway, it's not about resolution, but pixel densities.

If I'm working on DTP, it would be great if monitors were produced with 300ppi density, and that OS-es are capable of adequate resizing - for instance, by using DIP (display independent pixel) like in Android. I don't know what solution is used rMBP.

Moreover, IMO displays like those could be smaller size and be used closer to our eyes - I'm thinking here about Wacom Cintiq style. Screen real estate doesn't depend so much on diagonal but on resolution, so therefore smaller diagonals should be enough.

Of course, I think that graphic cards are perfectly capable of handling those resolutions, however all Industry has been pulled back for years because of gaming Industry demands.

Or why dont u use a high-end graphic card?

14. AppleConspiracy posted on 20 Aug 2012, 07:39 0 0

I am using high-end graphic card, Quadro FX5600. It's old (and therefore cheaper) but it gives you stuff that couldn't be achieved by contemporary gaming cards, not to mention anything that goes in those pathetic Macs...
