A simpler rough equivalent to SwitchResX, but it won't give you as many options, is RDM which can be installed via a download linked from the GitHub page, or via Brew ( brew install avibrazil-rdm).And you can even add Custom screen resolutions, but these are super-advanced and probably not what you need! With a higher-resolution display, thin chassis, and up-to-date components, the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch with Retina Display is the new king of high-end desktop replacement laptops.they don't change the available underlying screen resolutions, but they do change the apparent space on the screen) You can also use it to add additional Scaled resolutions (same as scaling on your retina display, i.e.It is quite fiddly to use, but it opens up a bunch of resolutions which your monitor supports but which Mac OS hides by default everything above 1920x10p) if you have a hi-res (e.g. It is thinner than its predecessor, made solid-state storage (SSD) standard, added HDMI, and included a high-resolution Retina display. thunderbolt) to DisplayPort connector, not an HDMI to HDMI connector - you will likely see a lot more available resolutions (i.e. The third-generation MacBook Pro was released in 2012: the 15-inch in June 2012, a 13-inch model in October.
