Using 'Retina Display' as term which applies to all high resolution

which i did not do.


See Message-ID:

[Casagionnoni]
If an image is
produced by a sensor with the same resolution, then enough
information, as levels of red, green and blue, ranging from 0 to 255,
are obtained for each of the 1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600 pixcels, and the
image can be displayed accordingly. Now, if the number of sensor
pixcels are doubled in both dirrections, then the image is produced at
a higher resolution, and fully 4 pixcels have to be mapped into each
of the full screen display pixcels. In this case, the 4 should be
resolved into one, using some kind of round off scheme.


[nospam]
what you're describing is a retina display, except that it's a lot
more complicated than simply rounding off and may not be double
either.

--------------------------------

Not a mention of any manufacturer, let alone Apple. You straight out
use 'retina display' as a generic term for all high resolution
displays.


no. you *assumed* that.
