It's so incredibly frustrating. Text rendering is the primary feature of a code editor, but no one on the Zed team seems to use a non-retina screen.

- jen20 1y ago> but no one on the Zed team seems to use a non-retina screen This is not that surprising to me. Surely no-one wants to spend their day looking at the pixels?
- badsectoracula 1y agoI like looking at pixels as long as those pixels look good. Zed's pixels look awful.
- haiku2077 1y agoIf nice monitors were free, sure. Sadly nice monitors cost money. When I worked office jobs, hidpi displays were rarely available.

My desktop's 1440p is blurry, any external display at the office is blurry. So what? use Zed on my laptop when I'm using the built-in display, then switch editors if I'm switching monitors?
- colonial 1y agoI can't remember the last time I touched a hi-DPI display. They really aren't that common still, even in technical office environments - regular 1440p or 4K ~150 PPI displays work just fine. E: Actually, I suppose my Samsung counts. But the point stands w.r.t. "real computer" displays.
