>The definition of a retina display is you can't discern individual pixels at normal viewing distances

I wonder if this is actually true, the whole "more pixels than photosensitive cells" thing sounds a bit shaky.

Yeah, it's nonsense. There are 90-120 million rods and 5-7 million cones in the human retina.

For one it was never about "more pixels than photosensitive cells".

Second, the number of rods and cones has nothing to do with it.

The "retina" argument was about having smaller than discernible angular pixel sizes, which is true for the majority of people and normal viewing distances.
