But when run at 2880×1800 in full screen with the third party program, Club Penguin looks great. To summarise it up, 1440×900, what the computer is set to run, makes Club Penguin look bad. Now to put it into perspective, here’s Club Penguin Memories at 2880×1800:īig difference, eh? Hopefully I wasn’t too technical with this. When unofficially run in 2880×1800 mode instead of 1440×900 Club Penguin looks SO much better.Īgain, same thing with the plaza but full screen and at a different resolution. One thing in OS X 10.7 Lion is you can run programs in full screen with the click of a button. (That’s my friend’s dog as my background image by the way. Club Penguin taking up my full screen then becomes very small in 2880×1800. I had to download a free third party program to run it in its full resolution. Now that’s in the 1440×900 resolution that the computer is set to run in at default even though the computer has a 2880×1800 resolution. Again, you need to view the image in its complete size to notice it. The whole game is pixelly across both browsers. Now that I switched to Google Chrome for these images you’ll see that absolutely none of the text is retina looking, unlike Safari. Below I do run my computer in its full resolution, but you’ll get to that part of the post later. There are a few variants, but you get the general idea of it. The Retina MacBook Pro is meant to be run in 1440×900, half the actual screen resolution. The next few screenshots are just random images around Club Penguin. Gary’s image himself and the small screen button are pixelly because they are not retina. If you view the image below with Gary in it in full size and view it zoomed in (your browser will make it fit the screen, click on it to zoom in properly) you’ll notice that the text from Gary as well as things like Log Off, What’s New, Membership, etc are very clear. Remember, click the images to see it in full size. (in most areas) Google Chrome (my browser of choice) will get an update soon to upscale it too, but until then I’m stuck on seeing lower quality text on every website. That said, in Safari, Club Penguin’s web pages look fine. Many third party programs such as Twitter for Mac or Google Chrome do not support it yet, so text does appear a pit blurry and even pixelly when you look hard enough. Safari is built to help upscale text on websites so it looks crystal clear. After being spoiled with the high resolution and using a computer that does not contain a retina screen, I was amazed at how low quality it seemed, even though it really isn’t. It’s the same size but the resolution is doubled. The Retina MacBook Pro has a 2880×1800 screen resolution, but packed into the same placement as a 1440×900 screen resolution MacBook. But, as I am going to state several times, since this technology is basically brand new in computers, I don’t expect them to have it soon until it gains popularity and they see a spike in traffic from such high screen resolutions. Club Penguin is one thing that does not support retina. Until updated, images and even text will look pixelly and blurry unless “retina-ised”. The technology is here, but it’s going to take time for developers to adopt and support these high resolutions. There are other devices that support retina screens too, but on Apple’s end there are two three devices in addition to this computer. It was added to the iPhone 4 and 4th generation iPod Touch in 2010 and came to the new iPad (third generation) earlier this year. I’m amazed – compared to prior computers I have used to play Club Penguin this is 500 times better. There is zero lag when playing the game, even after a while. That said, I’ve got a lot of the latest stuff.
