How to test a website for Retina on Windows without an actual Retina display?

Question

Is there a way to simulate a Retina display on Windows to test a website for HiDPI displays such as Retina?

I run Windows on a standard 24\" 1920x1080 monitor. Last

As far as I can tell, it's not possible other than buying a retina device.

  • If you doubled up the image sizes and proportions are still the same, you’re pretty much safe. If you don’t have a retina display to test with, switch from the pixel-ratio media query to something width-based.
