Hi all

Are high resolution wallpapers which are down-scaled down better then wallpapers at their native size ?

aka on my current Macbook Pro Retina (2560x1600), i have wallpaper resolutions of 3840x2400)

I can't really tell the difference on this display, but from a visual standpoint, is applying a high resolution and scaling down better the the same wallpaper in its 'native' resolution ?

I'm thinking of weather i should trash all my 3840x2400 wallpapers and re-downloading all 2560x1600 ones instead.
