Retina Display native resolution solves all display problems?

Correct, the issues are eliminated and you gain an incredible amount of working space. I really hate how this is not an available option by default.

 

its also easier on the system at native since it doesnt have to scale everything up 2x just to scale it back down to the setting you choose

 

It's unusable at that resolution because all of the text in the menus are way too small. I think that's why Apple did the scaling thing.

 

What Apple did is optimal. You get the benefit of Retina at any scaling, no other display/computer can do that. This is also the best interim solution considering the non-retina design of almost all software and websites.

 

I think that they assume if you are a techie, you can figure out how to get it to native resolution! It really isn't a practical option for most consumers, which is probably why they didn't include it.

 

sorry but running that high resolution on a 15" is kind of really stupid.

 

2880x1800 works great in windows due to dpi scaling on 125% and 150%

in osx it isnt that good, but you can atleast make text/icons bigger and zoom on webpages. i adjusted to native resolution pretty fast. and im loving it

 

The system would run slightly faster compared to the "best for retina" option, but I doubt it would be noticeable (it wasn't when i tried, but i don't notice much lag anyway).

Also, I have 20x20 vision and there is no way I could work at a resolution that high, I know that some people probably can but apple certainly isn't one to put in something that would not only be useful to a very small percentage of users but would appear broken to many who don't know what's going on.

Should they? Maybe, but you know, it's just not apple.

 

That's making use of what the system has to offer and is therefore not stupid.

 

I'm running at native resolution right now. Things are definitely small, but this is not a major problem for my young eyes and 20/20 vision. I could see it being difficult for most.
