I have implemented some modules / scripts to make this website compatible with Retina Display / HiDPI standard. It means, if you visit this website from a computer using Retina Display or HiDPI, you will be able to see much better pictures.
Some of the pictures in older posts (but not all) were automatically updated to the new standard if I have the original source in higher resolution (2x), otherwise, it will remain on standard resolution. New posts will use double quality images whenever possible.
HiDPI is a technology which allow digital display in super small pixel size, smaller than what our human eyes can differentiate. These super small pixels build a very smooth images compared to the “standard” display. Retina Display is a name created by Apple for their version of HiDPI. All iPhones starting from iPhone 4, all iPads from iPad 3 and Macbook Pro with Retina Display use this technology.
While all texts in websites will automatically look good in Retina Display screens, images sometime look pixelated. To provide compatibility, webmasters must prepare those images in higher resolution (2x width and 2x height) and install some scripts to make it readable by computers using this display technology.
 normal image |
 Retina Display optimized |
Have a look at a small comparison above. Both images will look the same in normal screen. But the Retina Display optimized image will look better in computers with Retina Display or HiDPI screen technology.
I leave a response each time I appreciate a post on a site or if I have something to add to the discussion. It’s triggered by the sincerness
displayed in the article I browsed. And after this post Retina Display / HiDPI Ready – Robert Setiadi Website. I was moved enough to post a thought :-P I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s allright.
Could it be just me or do a few of the remarks look like written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I’d like to follow you.
Could you list all of your communal sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
It’s very effortless to find out any matter on net as compared to books, as I found this paragraph at this website.
I am curious to find out what blog platform you are using?
I’m experiencing some minor security problems with my latest website and I would like to find something more safeguarded. Do you have any solutions?
