Macbook pro dimensions 1440 x 900
You get the effective desktop resolution of the standard 15-inch MacBook Pro's 1440 x 900 panel, but with four physical pixels driving every single pixel represented on the screen. "Retina MBP ships in a pixel doubled configuration. Then, Anand Tech has an article on how Apple handles this scaling, and they say, My question is, why does Apple call the 1440 x 900, "Best (Retina)"? What is best about it, why do only the other four have the scaled resolution warning since they all five are scaled are they not? Peformance concerns aside, can't I have confidence that all resolutions will be crisp as all are scaled as none are actually native (2880 x 1880)?
There is no option for native 2880 x 1800 as presumably the text would be so tiny. More space, "Using a scaled resolution may effect performance." When you do that, you get the following choices with warnings on four of the five choices (for a screen shot see the link below):ġ024 x 640, Larger Text, "Using a scaled resolution may effect performance."ġ280 x 800, "Using a scaled resolution may effect performance."ġ680 x 1050 "Using a scaled resolution may effect performance."ġ920 x 1200. Okay, in the System Preferences folder you can set the new MBP-R screen to one of the following settings with the description Apple provides by going to the System Preferences folder, then choosing "Displays", then unselecting the default "Best for Retina display" button by choosing instead the, "scaled" button.
