what is the retina display?

I am a layman when it comes to this type of information but my understanding is quite simply, Apple uses the term to indicate the amount of pixels per square inch on the screen, don't quote me but I believe my IPad 4th gen with Retina display has something like 350+/_ pixels (or possible 350 different colour variations within a Square inch of your screen) non retina displays have less pixels per square inch aprox 275 to 300??? I guess? where as my Iphone5 has 400+ as do IPad airs I6s etc. but its a small screen on the phone. Simply put more pixels better picture on the eye, I am happy with my IPad 4th gen, got it because it uses the lightning cable same as my I5, good when I travel, iPhone charger is a little weak for the IPad though, takes a lot longer. Hope this is of some assistance?

If that is the first retina display, yes. I have replaced mine ...multiple times. Save your bezel, or order one, without a bezel the glass looks too small.

I think the display is beautiful. The one limitation is the vertical size is 768 pixels, and I'd like it to be more. Anyone who says it is washed out either hasn't seen it or has a broken display. (My spouse does says there is glare under certain conditions.) We compare this to the Apple products we own (iMac, iPad, iPod and MacPro) and we're very happy. It's not trying to be the highest resolution in the house. After all, it's a hardware interface to Google-Plus (like the Kindle is a hardware interface to Amazon).

Your Retina 5K display would need to be equipped with a "VESA Mount Adapter". Your Apple dealer/store will know how to ensure yours come with it; or you've already purchased your display, how to attach the adapter to the monitor.

That's what I have and it works great. I have the non-retina display. It was a Christmas present for my son.

Yes, works great! Can get glitchy on start up but you just have to turn off and on and it catches...but the resolution is just like a Retina and much better than a Thunderbolt display.

With Retina give a shaper image. It has more pixels. Pics look a lot better. If U play games the difference in how the games look is very obvious. Hope this helps

It is a replacement of the stock display for the 4s, which is labeled as a retina display. I found that the colors of this display seems better then the original broken screen that it replaced.

Retina Display (marketed by Apple with a stylized lowercase 'd' as Retina display) is a brand name used by Apple for liquid crystal displays that have a pixel density high enough that the human eye is unable to discern individual pixels at a typical viewing distance.

The retina display just means a cleaner and crisper picture with brighter and more vibrant colors than the other ipads.

All Retina Display MacBook Pros use PCIe-based flash storage that's soldered into the computer with the other components; nothing on the inside of the Retina MacBooks is supposed to be replaced, or built to be.

Retina display has to do with clearer, brighter picture quality. Increased pixels, give you a much brighter picture.

I have a 13" MacBook Pro, however it does not have retina display, but it fits great. It would fit a bigger or smaller screen than what I have. Hope this helps.

While I suspect an Apple representative or an expert in display resolution could better answer your question, my simple, layman's comparison would be like comparing a high definition TV screen to an older analog TV display. The retina display would have more pixels, more vivid colors, better details.

I am not familiar with retina display, but I found this ipad cover not like the original ones. I does not turn the screen off. Just something to keep in mind.
