[QUOTE="greyhound rick, post: 1556658, member: 147622"] Thanks to all for the responses. Very helpful! Yesterday we went to the Apple Store and had one of the staff put a 2012 Non retina MacBook Pro next to a new MBPR. I honestly could not tell the difference with both turned up to maximum brightness. Interesting note: After that we went over to the iMacs and looked at the 27" and the 21" models. We noticed that the displays were brighter than on the MBPR machines. Pretty noticeable. When i edit photos i normally have the brightness at about 3/4 in a moderately lit room. I try to actually edit about one notch down from what i would deem normal brightness so that my prints will come out ok. The reason that i like bright displays is because when i show people the images I've done for them i feel like they look better with a nice bright display, especially if in a well lighted room or if outside. A couple of additional questions for you: 1. If i opt to go with an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro I'm thinking that a 21" would be best for me as i would be able to transport it much more easily ( i was amazed how light and easy to handle the 21" one was at the Apple Store). I know there are some advantages to the 27" vs. the 21" such as upgradeability, but was wondering if the screen architecture itself was the same as the 27" and if the IQ is as good on the 21" vs. the 27"? 2. From what i could gather looking at my photo stream at the Apple Store, the color accuracy, vividness and IQ in general was better on the MacBook Pro Retina vs. the MBP, but seemed fairly comparable when comparing the MBPR vs. the iMac. What do you think? thanks very much again for your expertise, rick [/QUOTE]
