so what? the screen doesn't normally fail and the retina display is
*much* better than what you have.

Do you really need a screen of that density, when your images are going
to be seen on screens with much lower density?

yes.

Why. What is the benefit, except for the user liking it.

image quality.

For you to look at. Fine. But, not for me when I produce images for
others to view. I you produced an image using a Retina screen, then
produced the same image using my screen, and both were viewed on an sRGB
96 pixel screen, nobody could tell which screen was used in production.
Well maybe there would be more tonality in the shadow areas in the image
produced using my monitor.



what is the benefit of your 36mp camera, versus a more affordable 24 mp?


Not a valid comparison. I get my cameras for what I expect to use then
for. my D500 has less and smaller pixels than the D800. yet I use them
both, as well as my 8800, P&S.
