- mortenjorck 13y agoMaybe a bit premature, but I'd say you're spot-on in execution. This is almost certainly how Apple will bring Retina to the desktop: A 24" 1080p @2x, which just happens to be the same resolution as the emerging 4K standard. 27" is too big for 1080p-scaled UI elements, but 24" is just about right (and being Retina, you'll no doubt be able to crank it a bit higher if you give up the pure 2x multiplier). If they launched this summer, I think it'd be a $2000+ display, which is probably more than Apple wants to enter the market at. In another 6-12 months, I can see them being able to hit something more like $1499, which sounds about right.
- jfb 13y agoIt'll be 16:10 (3840x2400), not 16:9 (3840x2160), but otherwise, yeah, that's what I figure.
- rdl 13y agoI don't think Apple has the same cost structure as everyone else; they could afford to loan a supplier enough money to essentially bring cost savings forward. I could see a $999-1499 Retina Desktop display now, and/or Retina iMac.
- Guvante 13y ago$1499 maybe, pulling off a 4K in 24" at the market rate 30" is going for is a tall order.
- grecy 13y agoI expect they'll launch the Retina Thunderbolt with the new Mac Pro (or whatever the new high-end thing is) because it will have Thunderbolt and will be the top end. Will that come at WWDC, or later in the yaer... ?
