I hate this subject particularly
Most users don't want to know about the relationship between resolution and size, so when they get a bigger monitor, they complain everything's too small, reduce the res, then complain cos they can't get any more on screen than they could before!

Well, we should get around to PJ's house

I got a Retina MBP, and it pisses me off that I can't pick a 'resolution', only a slider with 'smaller' to 'bigger'.
And when I take screenshots, they're naturally double the size, but its annoying as none of my punters have one.

Thats because the Retina has a native resolution of 2880×1800 which makes all the text look tiny
So they have scaling. You get the benefit of Retina at any scaling, no other display/computer can do that. This is also the best interim solution considering the non-retina design of almost all software and websites.

Yup, deffo. Doesn't make it non annoying though as someone who has to think in pixels =)
