Would be worth pooling knowledge in this pull request for high DPI detection Modernizr/Modernizr#443
Is -moz-device-pixel-ratio:1.0 really high-resolution? Shouldn’t that be 1.5? Or perhaps 1.1 or something, as the other check is for > 1.
@mathiasbynens good catch, that should be a !...
I have updated the gist and moved away from the moz-specific check and test for min-resolution:144dpi. This works on Firefox (beta) on the Nexus 7, where as all other approaches (moz--min-device-pixel-ratio and min-resoution:1.5dppx) didn't.
Also works on Chrome on MacBook Pro Retina (where window.devicePixelRatio==2).

This should work on all browsers that support retina screens. Is this enough? Improvements welcome. This is for inclusion in my ebook http://retinafy.me
