Am I missing something? Where's the "retina" display?
1920x1080 on 23" screens is not retina. It's not on 13" either. Has the retina name been diluted to just mean any resolution over 1080p and on any screen size now?
I guess you have Apple to blame for this, too. Retina used to mean 300+ PPI. Since the iPad has significantly less than that, they just say that it depends how far you are from it now.
I guess Microsoft will claim that for 1080p 23" monitors, you'll just have to use them from the couch a few feet away to experience the "retina" display.
10.1", 2560x1440 (291 DPI) is clearly labeled in the graphic, "Common sizes for Windows 8". It's probably best to read the entire article and look at all the pretty pictures before commenting

They list 2560x1440 on a 10" screen as a common display size for Windows 8. That puts it at 291 DPI compared to the new iPad's 264 DPI.
I am not surprised you'd miss something that others are able to see in a MS post :)
