Everyone knows the new MBP screen is better, but people are saying that pictures and videos that aren't optimized for the new screen won't look better.

I don't want to spend like 1500 bucks then not even notice a difference at the photos and videos I view.

I have done with video editing on both Windows and MBP, I don't see much difference. Only thing I'm worry about the laptop price to spend.
