Retina vs non-retina HD

my imac's display non-retina hd (1080p). today @ store noticed huge difference between retina , regular hd! can't notice individual pixels on retina display @ closest distance eyes can see before blurring whereas if i'm close screen (like 8'') can see pixels. iphone's screen resolution lower imac's yet retina hence don't see pixels on well. because of screen size, there more pixels per inch? if turn time... i'd spend few more €€€ , buy 1 retina display.

the difference in pixel density. there more pixels per inch on retina display on non-retina display. when considering things resolution have consider screen size. example, typical 1080p (hd) resolution 1920x1080. if spread out on large screen, bigger pixels. if have 1920x1080 resolution on small screen, iphone, individual pixels smaller.
