Qt fails to pass on the actual DPI to its WebKit backend, causing QtWebKit areas to be half size of what they should be!ģ) Uxtheme.dll, the component that draws the theme in Windows, has bugs in its DPI scaling. The DWM messes up the title bar and Firefox its tabs. Outlook messes up its ribbon bar and side bars.
If the scale works correctly then such apps would look visually identical to how it looks like on a non-retina 24″ monitor.Ģ) Most applications declare themselves DPI aware, but then fail to live up to the promise! For example, Calc.exe says it is DPI aware and then renders its buttons incorrectly.

In practice Windows creates a blurry upscale for some reason. A 24″ 4K monitor is exactly twice the resolution of a 96 DPI display, and therefore 1 pixel should be upscaled to 4 pixels.

The idea here is not bad, but Windows 7 does not upscale properly. There are roughly three reasons why Windows 7 fails so badly at scaling:ġ) If an app is not declaring itself as DPI-aware the OS renders the app client area into a texture at 96 DPI and then upscales it. The key is that you need device independent pixels, because then the UI will always have the same physical size regardless of what DPI the monitor may happen to have. The following article shows a table at the top with different ways of doing this: Therefore the first step is ensuring that the application uses a sane and well defined coordinate system for placement. Mostly because developers are unable to properly test their UI on other devices than their own. It is a little bit more complicated than this. In the survey 28% of people think they can watch movies in high definition with a DVD player when actually a Blu-ray player or a high definition set-top box is needed to do so, and a further 27% believe that an HDTV shows everything in high definition when in fact they need a Blu-ray player to actually view content in the best possible quality.īroken down further, 30% of respondents (14.6 million people across Great Britain) think they can watch Blu-ray discs or high definition broadcasts at home, while only 58% of that group have an HDTV with a high definition source connected.ġ.3 scalable menu decorations and controlsġ.4 scalable window decorations and controls The most surprising finding is that 6.5 million people (1 in 10 of the population) think they are watching high definition content when actually they are not.

In a study of nearly 10,000 (9,500) respondents commissioned by the BVA, many viewers – over 55% of UK households – revealed that they have spent hundreds or even thousands of pounds on the latest High-Definition TV technology without seemingly having appreciated the experience high definition screens are meant to deliver …so, people just don’t notice much of a difference between SD and HD – so much that they mistakenly believe they have HD, while in fact watching SD.Įdit: … works through ! Relevant parts:Īccording to the latest research from the British Video Association (BVA) more than 6million Britons think that they are already watching High-Definition TV, completely unaware that they are not connected to the right set-top boxes or Blu-ray disc players that unlock the potential of their brand new HDTVs. It gets better with “HD” (or worse, depending on your outlook): … (too bad the BVA link is dead, it quoted percentages)īut there are millions of people across the UK who mistakenly believe that once they’ve got their HD-ready TV they are watching HD pictures, regardless of whether they’ve installed an HD set-top box or Blu-ray player as well, according to the British Video Association. Honestly Apple can do anything they want at this point as long as they set the price high enough to still be considered an “upscale” brand, because at least here in the state Hollywood has made apple “the” brand all the heroes and cool characters in TV and movies use so if you want to be “cool and trendy” that is what you have. there is a reason why the only thing you see having lines on release besides Apple are sneakers, its because having the latest iStuff is considered a status symbol and a way to show others that you have more wealth than they do. This is why most laptops are at 720p, why DVDs still outsell BluRay by a pretty large margin, Joe and Jane just does not care.Īnd please don’t bring up Retina because Apple is unique in that they are a tech brand that the public treats as a fashion item.

Being in retail I have seen this time and time again where folks will take a “bigger” 720p screen over a smaller 1080p. The problem is Joe and Jane Average, the ones buying the vast majority of screens…really doesn’t care.
