Do you really see any pixels?The PPI has barely changed since 2012 (226 up from 220), and there are better displays on the market now
It's not about being able to see individual pixels. I can tell a difference in sharpness because the downscaling algorithm softens everything with hard edges (text, UI elements, etc.).Do you really see any pixels?
electric shocks? dude, exchange it.Mine came with uneven trackpad (raised in lower left corner) and getting constant tiny electric shocks from the trackpad when using it. Feels like there are dust particles or tiny crumbles on the trackpad, but it's completely clean. When you really concentrate on feeling it you can feel that its like tiny electricity/static when touching the trackpad. Never experienced this on my 15 inch.
You cannot possibly believe that this is normal. You clearly have a defective laptop; take it back and get a new one.Mine came with uneven trackpad (raised in lower left corner) and getting constant tiny electric shocks from the trackpad when using it.

Yep, makes sense. But on my 16" i use 1536*960 most of the time, which is 2:1 as well.they started scaling them by default at 1680x1050 instead of 1440x900 which is a true 2:1 of its native resolution, which makes a very noticeable difference in sharpness
I assume this is referring to the tingle that you can sometimes get from a MacBook Pro when plugged into a non-grounded outlet. I would say it is "normal." Unless they actually are getting shocked, in which case it's a completely different matter.You cannot possibly believe that this is normal.

Do you think we can expect 4k UHD panel with 2x FHD retina this fall?By going from 15" to 16", the resolution of MBP 16" increased somewhat, but it should have been atleast 4k UHD panel with 2x FHD retina. Or it should have been atleast 120 hz screen. I'm still bit skeptical about OLED due to burn-in so I'm not sure about that though.
I feel like a 4K screen on a laptop isn’t worth it. You have to be within a foot and a half of the laptop for it to make a difference from 1080p and doing retina scaling at 4k would kill the battery (and there are already complaints about battery life with an 100wah battery).MBP 16" is what 2016 MBP should have been in terms of everything.
I'm especially liking the up-to-date graphic performance. 550 & 560 in 2019 15" MBP is shame really. You will have trade offs in performance and heat if you want the form factor of MBP 16".
However, the screen resolution is the problem. Apple shocked people with their retina screen when it was first introduced. Very high DPI in notebook sector was very rare back then, and Apple's decision was noble. However, PC laptops eventually catched up and now they offer better options going from 4k UHD, high refresh rate to OLED.

For that kind of chip, your demand can only be met if Apple offers a mobile workstation level laptop with thicker casing. I'd love to see that with equivalent of mobile 2080.Well, I'm pretty frustrated with choosing the 5500M 8 GB to be it's best dGPU offering. I'd be singing praises to Hell and back if they managed to put a 5700M of some kind in the 16" MBP, but yeah.. The dGPU is gonna cause the 2019 "16 MBP to age badly.
Well heck. I don't know. Only Apple knows, and given how they just updated the screen, I wouldn't bet it for next several years.Do you think we can expect 4k UHD panel with 2x FHD retina this fall?
that's one area it will have negative impact, but 4k is great so why not?I feel like a 4K screen on a laptop isn’t worth it.
