I was wondering if the video quality of websites like netflix, youtube, hulu, sidereel, ect., look bad on the retina macbook pro. I know that sites that aren't updated give bad images and icons but I'm not sure if these sites would still put out videos with good quality.
If anyone who has a Retina pro could answer this it would be awesome,
Thanks!

From what I've seen, the video quality is the same.
 
Actually, because of the large resolution of the new retina macbook pro, the videos looks more blurry and fuzzy than on a regular screen. You will especially notice this if you watch 360p videos. This is from personal experience. I pretty much have to watch everything in 1080p now just to get decent quality.
