Do you watch films on your Air 13"?

Do you watch films, shows etc on your Air 13"?
If so what's the screen like for that, not sure if a Air will suffice or I get the Retina Pro?

I watch films on the 11" and they look fantastic.. both screens are HD quality.. stepping up to retina will get you slightly more pixels only when watching a 1080p movie.

I watch movies all the time on my 13". The contrast make it look really nice. Deep blacks and white whites are more important than resolution.

Videos/shows are more forgiving on non-retina than text.

Watch them all the time on my 11". It's the perfect size for an aircraft tray. The 13" is a little too big to watch while flying . . . unless you're in business class.

I watch very often on my 13" mid 2012 Air. No complains

I do and it's a delight. No complaints at all.

I do but have to say that about the only thing I preferred on my retina 13MBP's screen was watching HD video. It's OK on my 13MBA but not a patch on rMBP. For everything else I prefer the MBA.

Netflix and Youtube are quite nice on the 13" Air. Obviously the screen size isn't that large, but for casual use it's very enjoyable.

I do as well on occasion. Works fine.
