While Apple's new Retina MacBook Pro includes a display measuring 2880x1800
pixels, the default display options do not allow users to run their systems
at that full resolution. Instead, the extra pixels are used to display a
higher level of detail on a canvas representing the previous 1440x900
resolution. But users who wish to use a desktop with effective resolution
higher than 1440x900 can still do so, as System Preferences offers several
different options ranging up to 1920x1200.
Those users who want even more screen real estate by tapping into the full
2880x1800 resolution of the display can also do so, but the option involves
a workaround that is not authorized by Apple. Macworld has more details on
the process, which involves using either a third-party app like the paid
SwitchResX (as noted in our forums) or one of a number of free options that
have sprung up such as Change Resolution.

Running a 2880x1800 desktop on a screen measuring only 15.4 inches
diagonally obviously results in very small text and user interface elements,
but for those willing to sit close enough to their screens to make the
onscreen content readable, it may be an interesting option.
As noted by developer Steven Troughton-Smith, users running Windows on the
new Retina MacBook Pro can also take advantage of the full display
resolution, simply setting the resolution in preferences within Windows. |
