14.04 has very good HiDPI support per monitor unlike Gnome. I've been using 14.04 for months and am loving it on a retina display for the last few weeks.

The shell scales perfectly, GTK3 apps scale as well. Firefox has the `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` setting in about:config that you can change to 2 or 4 to make it scale properly.

Chrome doesn't yet support HiDPI screen but setting the default zoom level to 200% does the trick.

Upgrading now just to try this! (Now to get past "symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" on boot... I should have waited for the weekend to update to a beta release!)
So you are telling me that its finally becoming feasible to have a Retina Macbook with Ubuntu?

Thats awesome news!
