Description

maptalks's version and what browser you use?
Latest. Chrome.

Issue description
It looks like detectRetina might not yet be implemented in maptalks. This is a common feature in comparable map tools. The end result is that on retina displays, the 3D is sharp, but the tiles are low res. I believe it's a simple enough thing to implement - it's just about getting the higher resolution tiles - but unfortunately it's beyond me to contribute.

Cheers

Research direction

Start by searching the repository for detectRetina and the tile-loading entry point, then trace how tile resolution is selected for display devices. Done means retina displays request higher-resolution tiles so they are as sharp as the 3D view; the issue does not name a test or file to run.
