No it's not because retina is a meaningless term stamped onto every Apple product. It doesn't really describe anything objectively (because it is for marketing purposes).

It's a screen with a high enough pixel density that a human eye cannot discern the pixels at a normal viewing distance.

So what you are actually saying without the marketing term is a slightly high dpi screen.

the resolution is common, the DPI isn't. it is for phones because the screens are small. makeing a large screen TV with the DPI of the "retina" display is still pretty expensive, as far as i know, but if they aren't pushing consumer versions of that kind of thing yet they will very soon. i think even 4k screens don't have that kind of DPI. (i may be wrong, i'll bing yahoo answers and see)
interesting trivia: i've used an oculus rift lens on my cell phone screen and i can't see the pixels even with moderate magnification
