Can anyone offer any suggestions ? Casters on your chair. :-) Seriously. Presuming you're going to keep using only the same display(s) you already are using instead of incorporating a useful tool into your web business, move your eyes back. If your screen is a standard 96 DPI device, or close thereto, the Retina you want to emulate is 220 DPI, and 220 is the same factor you'll use for your retina display graphics, divide 220 by 96, and multiply the result to find whatever the distance should be instead of what it normally is between your eyes and your display. It's little different than emulating lower than average vision, which you already do, right? -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.

Re: [css-d] Close to Accurate Retina Display of Graphics Preview ?
Get an android or windows device with a retina-like screen? If when zooming your page 200% and you image looks as good as a regular image at 100%, then there is a level of accuracy there imho.

Can anyone offer any suggestions ? As already noted, there are a plethora of Android powered devices with highDPI screens. And heck, there is even a Windows powered laptop with “retina” screen (Toshiba Kirabook) if that floats your boat better, or a ChromeOS retina laptop (dunno if they still sells those, though). And ultimately, if you zoom in your browser window to 200 or 250%, you’ll also have a pretty decent idea if your images display OK on a retina/highDPI screen. As for that 'simulator' in the Chrome devtools - it is completely useless for anything (except maybe for some feelgood lalala). Remember it displays the page using the same rendering engine as the version of Chrome of Opera you are using, which is almost certainly not what browsers in the targeted devices use. Open this test case http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/wft-003bis.html in Chrome or Opera and display it in the devtools simulator - choose iPad or iPhone as profile. You should NOT see 4 boxes side by side (MobileSafari, as does Desktop Safari, do not support unprefixed flexbox). The Chrome simulator does however display 4 boxes side by side.
