  • Sounds very odd if Apple ships a screen that isn't tack sharp

    This is quoted from https://sixcolors.com/post/2019/11/macbook-pro-16/

    The display of the 16-inch MacBook Pro—well, it’s right in the name,
    isn’t it? This laptop has a 16-inch diagonal screen that’s 3072 by
    1920 pixels, up from 2880 by 1800 on the 15-inch model. Pixel density
    has increased from 220 pixels per inch to 226 ppi, so this is a higher
    resolution screen, not just a bigger one. Still, Apple has set this
    laptop to default to a scaled size that’s the retina equivalent of
    1792 by 1120. I don’t mind the scaling and think the display looks
    fantastic, complete with the same P3 wide color gamut and 500 nits of
    brightness found on the previous 15-inch model. But I can see people
    who desire pixel-perfect accuracy being disappointed that this isn’t a
    “true 2x” display at 3584 by 2240.

  • That's as negative as people who still want to be invited to product previews allow themselves to be.

    Apple pulled the same shit with the 15-inch retina, setting it one notch above its hardware resolution, so it's nothing new.
