Is the retina display 4k resolution?

I have the 13in macbook pro with retina display. Apple says it has like millions of pixels but in terms of video, is it 4k? I know its higher than 1080, I would like to know what exactly it is. Thanks!

It tells you the native resolution on the MacBook Pro Tech Specs page:
http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
For the 13", it says "Native resolution: 2560 by 1600 pixels..." (The 15" is 2880 by 1800 pixels.)
So neither has enough pixels on the built-in display to fit any of the multiple definitions of 4K used in video. However, the 15" can drive an external 4K display, not sure about the 13".
Laptops with a 4K display are very rare. There is a new one by Toshiba, but it currently has too many compromises. If Apple does one they will wait until it can be done right.

How does the MacBook Pro with Retina display scaled resolutions work?

How does it work? I think I have the basics figured out; is this correct (by this, I mean below)?
It is a scaled resolution (1/2 I think of the actual display resolution) therefore, the size of the pixels would be equivalent to 1440 x 900, but each pixel that is represented on screen is actually 4 pixels, therefore making it look sharper, so things are physically the same size if it would be an actual 1440 x 900 screen, but it looks sharper on the Retina display because each pixel is actually 4 pixels?
Thanks

If you read the specs on them you will discover that the MBP is way more powerful then the MBA. The big feature of the MBA is light weight. If you need a powerful computer then you want the MBP instead.

When will the retina display resolution be supported?

Hello,
I got a new ipod touch 4th generation and everyones app looks great except for mine. Everything is jaggy. When will I be able to see my app in high resolution? Will flash be fast enough?

Maybe I should have asked "will the retina display resolution ever be supported?"

How tow connect two external displays that are not mirrored and turn of the retina display

Hello,
I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to use two external displays either mirrored or not and turn off the retina display, and if so how it is done?
2. Is it possible to close the MBP and use an external keyboard while using two external displays?
I am using a music production DAW Persons Studio One-2 Pro and it would be great to be able to have this type of a setup.
Thank You,

Can I turn off the retina display feature on the new MacBook Pro?

Hello,
I recently got the new MacBook Pro with Retina display. I love how fast this machine performs, it's weight and thickness.
However, working in Advertisement, this machine's made my line of work a bit too pixelated. There are no websites optimized for this new display, making portfolios hard to see as the retina screen makes things blurry and fussy looking. Not only that, but non of the Adobe products are ready for this technology either. It's hard to open a piece of software you'd like to design with and work with pixelated tools (photoshop among others).
I can do without the Ethernet port, optical drive and the lack of a locking system for this machine. But, making things uglier on the web isn't something I'm willing to sacrifice since is my line of work. Any idea of a third party that can turn this feature off?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, this beauty is going back to the Apple store.

sorry, but the 2880x1800 is hardware; in fact what makes non-optimized sites look (relativly) ugly is that to upscale the graphics to the apparent resolution of everything else each pixel is represented by 4 pixels, and as you know being in graphics, upscaling pictures is generally results in ugly.
Back to my point, there's no software to make the display lose 75% of its pixels; you'll either have to use another machine and/or wait for sites to optomize their graphics for the retina displays...which may or may never happen depending on the sites awareness/closeness with Apple's technology

Ipad air is without retina display? what is the retina display?

ipad air is without retina display? what is the retina display?

A retina display is a high resolution display. The name comes from the fact that the pixel density of the display is higher that your eyes retina can resolve at normal reading distance.
The retina display has four times as many pixels as the non retina display.
As has been stated, the iPad 3, the iPad 4, and the iPad Air all have the retina display.

The very best thing about the retina display

Do you know what is the best thing about the retina display? the answer is they've solved the issue of the dead and stuck pixels thing you know how because the pixels are very very small so u can't see if it's working or not some day you will walking around holding your new ipad and you don't even know the plenty pixels that are dead and you can't notice them HAHAHA that was a good one LOVE YA APPLE.

I doubt that's the reason Apple spent the money on retina displays, but a good observation.

Cost for replacement for the retina display on my iphone 4S

I droped my iPhone 4s and theres a large strip of dead pixals on the left edge plus a liquid that has crept over the top left coner of my screen. I also have many arrayed dead pixals across my screen.
I am thinking of replacing the retina display but im not sure how much it will cost.
Does anyone have had this problem or had it fixed?
Thankyou

When will Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 support iOS 5.1 and the retina display?

I have installed Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 along with the Adobe AIR 3.3 SDK and am understanding that there isn't support for iOS 5.1 nor the Retina display devices, is this correct? If so, when will this be available? If not, what is a good workaround?
Thanks,
N.M.

note sure if I'm much help other than to CONFIRM it is working for me by using the sdk WITHOUT the compiler. Check out adobe's little note: "Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler."
I am using FB 4.7 with AIR 3.6 and seems to compile correctly for iOS.
Maybe try reinstalling flash builder?
I honestly don't know if the JRE has anything to do with it... I'm using 1.7 ....to see what JRE you're using, open the Java Control Panel (I right click my java orange icon and hit properties), select the Java tab, then hit "View..."

Is 256 gb flash storage enough on the retina display Mbp?

I am going to college and can't decide between the baseline 15 inch MacBook pro with 500 gb hard drive and the baseline retina display. While the speed and slender design of the retina display are certainly appealing, I am concerned that the 256 gb of flash storage will not be enough in the long run. I mean, I will not be running the entire adobe suite, but I will definitely be running the entire Microsoft office for Mac suite (word, excel, powerpoint, and outlook),as well as the adobe photoshop cs6 extended program. I will also run iTunes with a library of roughly 800 songs, as well as various apps that may exceed 30 to 40 gbs potentially. I will also store some photos and movies on there, and I am looking into getting an external hard drive to backup my computer to. So for your basic college student that will mainly be using office, surfing the web, and using iTunes, is 256 gb enough? I also am seeing a lot of complaints about defective retina display computers on the discussion boards, and I was wondering if those are making up a large portion of retina displays being sold.

It feels to me like Apple intended the Retina MBP for users who would be using cloud storage a lot more than people have in the past. For example, if your media is purchased from iTunes, it stays in the cloud instead of taking up space on your hard drive, so you don't need as much onboard storage.
I've often wondered if this was wishful thinking on Apple's part, hoping that people would start using iTunes and iCloud more, and it remains to be seen if that will be the case. I really think the Retina MBP was designed for that.
I'm not trying to discourage you from getting one. It's more like, I'm hoping these thoughts (and I may be wrong), will help you make a good decision based on your usage habits. It's an awfully large investment, after all, and one that you'll have to live with for a long time.

There is a small white light in the retina display on my ipad 3. Is this a dead pixel/light leak and how do I fix it? (Located at the bottom left side between home button and left corner)

Maybe this will show up better in green.

Does the retina display help your eyes when on the computer?

Does the retina display help your eyes when on the computer for a long period of time? Does it make a difference if you have eye problems?

First, I'd suggest posting your question on the MacBook Pro forum. This is the Mac Pro forum, where the computers start at 50 pounds and go up from there (at least so far).
Second, I think it depends on what your eye problems are. I can say that there's a lot less reflection off the screen than the standard MacBook Pro glossy screen; it's similar to the anti-glare screens that you can find on other Mac laptops. The Retina display also has the ability to present a much crisper image with compatible software.

How does low-res videos/movies look on the Retina display, compared to a normal display?

How does low-res videos/movies look on the Retina display, compared to a normal display?

What is a "low-res" video? It will look as good as the "low-res" is. If the video is 100px x 100px it will display 100px x 100px unless you stretch or otherwise manipulate it.
If a "low-res" video is an old 1930's grainy video it will look like a 1930's grainy video.
Maybe I did not understand your question.
