Hi Guys,

Just wondering how El Capitan looks like on a non retina screen ? Mine's a late 2013 21.5 iMac.

Thanks,

Cheers !

What Yosemite looks like would basically what El Capitan looks like on non Retina display.

Regards.

Thanks, I have Yosemite running on it already and it looks great.

Was just wondering whether El Capitan would look any different ? I read somewhere that they've changed the fonts and all and so was wondering how all this would render on a non-retina screen.

Cheers!

Now, if you had any vision impairment..that could be the problem, but other than that...other poster is right.

OK. If you want to know how San Francisco font would look like, all I can say is this is a very subjective question.

Someone says this is sucks, while others say this is OK.

In my point of view, it is OK. If you find it is hard to see, either seeking for font replacement, or trying to cope with it.

Other than that, everything is just highly similar to Yosemite.

Good luck.

I have mild vision problems (my left eye only operates 20% = everything on the left side of the screen is blurry) and I find San Francisco easier to live with than Helvetica. 27", non-Retina.
