So if you were to use a 1440 screen in retina mode you would have to take 2 pixels across and 2 pixels vertically, in other words a 4 pixel group, as one pixel. In other words more than one physical pixel representing a virtual pixel in the interface. Now Macs are built to use screens as high DPI screens.

You have plenty of space to put different windows and have different apps on the screen at the same time. Look how small all the bits of text look. Look at how small the menu looks at the upper left. But if you use that as 2560 pixels across virtually, in other words displaying all the interface elements of all your apps at that resolution, you get something like this. That's the physical aspect to the display. Now when you use a 1440 display you have basically two ways to use it. You've got a much finer look to a 4K display than a 1440 display. So imagine the same things on the screen for both displays. You can see how much bigger here the pixels are. Now if this is a 4K display and we were to superimpose on top of that a 1440 display this is what the pixels look like. Let's zoom in a little bit more so you can see these individual boxes that are pixels. We're looking at the upper left hand corner. Here's a 4K display and a 4K display has got all these little pixels. Let's taks a look at what this would look like. So 3½ million versus 7 million pixels on the same screen size. Keep in mind these screens would normally be about the same size, 27". More than 7 million pixels than a 1440 display.
But in fact a 4K display is twice as many pixels. Now these numbers may not look too different. A 4K screen is 3840 pixels across and 2160 pixels vertically.
This gives you a total of about 3.7 million pixels on the screen. It's 2560 pixels across and 1440 pixels high. This is what you get when you get a 1440 display. Well, let's start first by looking at the display themselves. So you're going to wonder why not go with one of those displays instead of a 4K display. The 1440 ones are a little bit cheaper and you're going to hear lots of people, particularly gamers, singing their praises. Lots of these types of displays out there. You're going to find two different types that appear a lot. But the main difference between the displays is the resolution. Although you'll find ones that are larger and smaller than that. So when you shop online for displays you're going to find many different types. Other times with some of those other Macs, like MacBooks, you want to get a second display. But some Macs, like the MacMini and MacPro, you need to get an external display to even use the Mac.
All MacBooks, of course, and also the iMac. Now most Macs come with a built-in display. Join us and get exclusive content and course discounts. There you can read more about the Patreon Campaign.
