I kept the title honest but I submitted it specifically because the article says, "But it may also wreak havoc on CIOs’ networks and connectivity budgets — better quality displays require more network bandwidth, which allows users to increase data consumption."
How can the WSJ report such nonsense? Bigger displays do not increase bandwidth usage as far as I know.

- wizzard 14y agoIt all makes sense. Having a higher-resolution monitor increases the resolution of HD video! Somehow! Thanks for the laugh. Wow.
- fluidcruft 14y agoThe best I can come up with is adaptive streaming video. But I doubt anything streams higher than for output to 1080p and you certainly don't need a retina display matrix on a laptop to display 1080p.
- tzs 14y agoThere are sites that provide different images for different resolution devices. Bandwidth used when accessing those sites may in fact go way up when accessing from the Retina MBP compared to when accessing from a "normal" laptop.
