Hi,
I visited the local Apple store today, going between the retina MacBook Pros and the new iMac 27'' several times. I have to say as long as you keep your head at a reasonable distance from the iMac 27'', the difference in screen quality is really minimal. Is my eyesight bad or am I missing something?
The only thing I notice is maybe that my eyes work a little bit harder to focus when reading text on the iMac 27'' screen, but that could just be the bigger screen with more reflections from the harshly lit store room...or placebo..
I keep seeing all these comments like "I can't look at iMac screens anymore, because I've become used to retina displays." Seems a bit hyperbole to me, or is this something one notice over time?
I did notice however that the new MacBook Airs display looked a bit washed out compared to my 2010 MacBook Air. You would think that there would be an improvement in screen quality??
