Spotting the difference between 1080 and 1440 on a phablet is one thing, but if you can't see a world of difference between 1080 and 1600 on a 13 at a typical laptop distance your vision is not perfect.
- croon 10y agoI didn't say I can't see the difference, I said I can't use the difference.

- dexterdog 10y agoI used to think it wasn't that big of a deal until I started a new project where they require me to use their dell laptop with a 1080p 13" screen. When I went back to my 15" retina the difference is just astounding and my eyes are not what they once were. The font smoothing on a higher-density display really make it like reading a (backlit) book.
- croon 10y agoSure, that I can actually agree with. But I might argue that it actually plays to my point. Getting to use that smoothing means that you actually upscale the text from "traditional" pixel size, meaning you don't actually fit anything more on the screen, but the content you do fit just looks better. The parent I responded to argued that there was too little real estate, which I disagreed with.
