- DiabloD3 12y agoRetina is merely doubling the existing accepted DPI for any device and using it as an integer scaled HiDPI device. I look at my 24" 1920x1080 ("1080p"), so doubling the DPI would give me 3840x2160 ("4k"). My 24" is already at the optimum distance (approximately 29" away), so I'm not sure why you bring up distance here. Also, my 13" MBP Retina sits under my center monitor, so yes, I do in fact look at it at the same distance (although the optimum distance is approximately 23" for that). As for 27" screens, their res is typically 2560x1440, thus 5120x2880 ("5k") would be the correct res, and what 27" iMac Retinas ship with (optimum distance is about 24").
