Awesome! Also please let us know the make/model of the display you're using

Tried it on my build and I'm amazed by the clarity of the UI. But, like the video stated, not everything supports HiDPI. I wasn't able to test the 1280x720 resolution (mine only went up to 960x540), but I did get a taste of it, and boy it looks like something to look forward to. The amount of detail is very noticeable, and I would liken it to a 3GS - iPhone 4(S) difference. I've attached a snippet of the Display preference pane (I didn't know what else to check) and I hope you can see the difference it makes.


Edit: Just wanted to add i'm using a 23" Acer S231HL Display.

Wow, that is CRISP...

Here's a snow leopard grab for comparison:

If you open both (separately) in Preview and enlarge the SL pic, the difference is amazing!!!
