[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1614819, member: 56379"] If I'm reading things correctly…what you're saying is…your MBP's retina display looks great…but your traditional external display doesn't in comparison. Sounds to me that you are not going to be pleased with almost any external display…unless it is a retina-like display. Since probably 95%+ of external displays currently available are not "retina-like". They will simply be the same technology as your current external display. Newer technology for external displays is the "4k technology"…which means greater pixel density. Here are a couple documents that help explain things a bit: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/ht6008]Using 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs with Mac computers[/url] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution]4K resolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] 4k displays are more expensive…so expect to pay more. - Nick [/QUOTE]
