Is my Thunderbolt 27 a Retina display?

I have heard reports about Logic 10.3.0 looking bad on the Thunderbolt display.


Can someone confirm that the Thunderbolt 27" display is a Retina? I am worried that when I update to Logic 10. 3 that the graphics will look poor.


They look fine on my Macbook Air!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

You're right CCTM, Apple never made a 4K Thunderbolt screen. It was highly anticipated even after the iMac 5K's came out but an update never appeared.


From a MacWorld article on an anticipated update: the 2560 x 1440 resolution of the 27in Thunderbolt Displaycan't even match the 2560 x 1600 of the 13inch Retina MacBook Pro.
