| crissindahouse said: ok i could have asked for 1600p but the question is the same. it was not even a question just curious because it is useless for those people if they can't run the game at least in 1600p but like i said, for people who need high resolutions for work or at least would prefer them for their work it should be a good laptop if it can run the programs smooth with that res. and it should be clear that it's not made for gamers but i see a lot of people purchasing such a laptop and will never use the res for something, maybe watching some holiday pics and paying 1-1.5k extra for that lol. |
Honestly, I think you'd have trouble discerning the difference in a game running 1080p versus the same game running 1600p on the same size monitor. Video/animation doesn't require as many pixels to look good. If you stopped the game and stared at it for a bit you would probably notice but if you're on the move (as you typically would be in a game), I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference. 1080p (or 1050p) on a 15" screen is already packing some serious pixels in it.
Where the retina displays show their worth is when you have to stare at something for long periods of time. Text, Office programs, Photoshop, that kind of thing... The eye strain on a retina display is lower, the text is easier to read, and the pixels are so small you can't see where one stops and the next starts. But games/video? Nah, not really necessary and kinda pointless.
