purpose of retina display

The Retina display is the best screen you'll find on any device, and the difference it makes is dramatic. It's like upgrading from dot matrix printers to laser ones, or from VHS to DVD. Once you've seen it, you'll want it - so if you're happy with your existing iPad, you should probably steer clear of the Apple Store.

While I suspect an Apple representative or an expert in display resolution could better answer your question, my simple, layman's comparison would be like comparing a high definition TV screen to an older analog TV display. The retina display would have more pixels, more vivid colors, better details.

It is. If you own a Retina MBP, you will be disappointed by the quality of the resolution; but, it is nice to have a bigger screen.

Yes, I have an iPad with retina display, and it has worked very well since I applied it in 12/12.

It's different story. I do not use it for better eye sight. I have ok eye sight already and this is purpose of protecting it while I work on or play gamea on computer monitor.

No. It doesn't have a Retina display. Its resolution is 1440x900. If you want Retina display, you should buy the Macbook Pro (2560x1600)

I am not 100% sure of this but i can tell you the display looked great the UV glue was not visible and the screen was well centered... A Retina display is a brand name used by Apple for liquid crystal displays that have a pixel density high enough that the human eye is unable to discern individual pixels at a typical viewing distance. With that being said most displays are of that quality now days!

I haven't ever had any issues with the retina display. Just make sure that the screen protector is lined up as perfect as possible.

I am a layman when it comes to this type of information but my understanding is quite simply, Apple uses the term to indicate the amount of pixels per square inch on the screen, don't quote me but I believe my IPad 4th gen with Retina display has something like 350+/_ pixels (or possible 350 different colour variations within a Square inch of your screen) non retina displays have less pixels per square inch aprox 275 to 300??? I guess? where as my Iphone5 has 400+ as do IPad airs I6s etc. but its a small screen on the phone. Simply put more pixels better picture on the eye, I am happy with my IPad 4th gen, got it because it uses the lightning cable same as my I5, good when I travel, iPhone charger is a little weak for the IPad though, takes a lot longer. Hope this is of some assistance?

All Retina Display MacBook Pros use PCIe-based flash storage that's soldered into the computer with the other components; nothing on the inside of the Retina MacBooks is supposed to be replaced, or built to be.

Yes, I am satisfied with the display. The liquid crystal display requires adequate ambient light to read it. The contrast is good.

It's just for mini-displays to HDMI. So, mainly for Macs and other Apple products.

I did without Retina display on my old Macbook and was perfectly happy, but when I got an iPad 2 with Retina display I decided to get a new MacPro with it. The color is a little richer and since I do lot of "Photo Shopping" of stills and videos, I have not found any deterioration that would discourage me from paying a little extra for it. I would almost compare it to the improvement in picture quality found in HD TV vs. regular TV broadcast.

The screen is just a regular LCD display without a touch screen. It's for viewing only.

I have the crystal clear version, as the anti glare gives the screen a slight haze. It doesn't bother some people, but I wanted to get the most of my retina display. I have no complaints so far.
