Pixelation in web when unscaled?

[bluesTank]

Hi all,

I have my macbook waiting to be shipped. I am worried because a lot of people have been saying that the web looks bad when graphics are not optimized for the retina display. If you use the full unscaled resolution with more real estate on screen, does it all look normal in fine? Is there any downside to just running in full resolution, besides everything being tiny?

Thanks!

that would just look stupid and tiny. and yes, non-retina images will look fuzzy/blurry, just like on the new ipad while viewing the web.

if you're just going to look at the web at unscaled resolutions you might as well get a non-retina screen.
