complete nonsense.

Most people may not care, but I do. I know the
gloss on Apple branded monitors is not as high as it used to be, but I
prefer to work on a matte surfaced monitor.


only because you've used ****ty glossy displays.

Similarly, if I am submitting a print for a print competition, because
of the configuration of the light boxes they are usually viewed under, I
will print on a glossy surface, and underexpose by about a half stop.
OTOH if the print is going to be hanging on a wall, I will usually use a
matte paper. IOW I print for the conditions under which the image will
be viewed.


that has absolutely nothing to do with choice of display.

Do you really need a screen of that density, when your images are going

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.

nobody could tell which camera was used either.

and if you're going to be looking at the images on a ****ty srgb

with, along with a ****ty compact digicam, as you'll never be able to

it's a very valid comparison.

you don't 'need' a 36 mp camera when your images are displayed on
smaller displays or printed smaller than 20x24 or so (which from what
you've said is the case).

a typical non-retina 27" display has 2560x1440 pixels, or just under 4
mp. perhaps you should be using your daughter's 6 mp nikon d70.

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.


completely missing the point.

If you actually produced images you would know it 8is not. The good
people at Apple agree. Indeed when I asked them, they were specific
about the issue with the darker areas.

you've said is the case).


If all my images were full frame, and only displayed on monitors, you
would be correct. Your assumption is wrong.

At least you admit that you did.

either you're lying or they were very mistaken.

if it was actually an issue (which it isn't), it would be widely
discussed on the various photo sites. it's not.

it's complete fabrication.

the reality is that the retina display is considered to be the best in
the biz, which shatters your absurd claim that the shadow tonality is
poor.

you've never even used it, have you?

You can with a mac, just connect up the second monitor, I thought you could so that with PCs too, but maybe you can't.
But then again I've no reason to want to change my displat as I got the one I wanted with the computer.

Adding a second monitor is not the same as replacing the first one.


Why would we bother with those when we can buy sperate boxes where one can go on the floor on on the desk top.
You see desk tops were getting in the way they couldn't fit on the desk top !
so like you need space on the floor where they got kicked and of course one thing that you;ve ignored is that being at that level they suck in much more dust than they woukld on the desk.


I'm not working in a zoo and I have never had problems with dust.


So the advantage of my iMac is that I don't need extra space on the desk or on the floor or anywhere else. This is one of the reasons all in ones are popular and why iMacs sell.
You do know that the popularity of labtops is because they are all in one and portable, but again people make their own choices don't they.

I would be tempted too if I was in that situation. But I'm not.

bull****. i never said anything remotely close to that.

peter made the ludicrous and unfounded claim that retina displays have
issues with the shadows. that's complete nonsense, entirely fabricated
by him solely to argue.
