Display resolution for 2014 MBP?

How do you adjust the display resolution to the "native" 2880 x 1800 on a mid 2014, 15 inch rMBP with NVIDIA Graphics?
I can not obtain a resolution above 1920 x1200.

Hello there, pf2555.
When adjusting resolution for your MacBook Pro Retina, the following Knowledge Base article offers some information on that regard:
Frequently asked questions about using a Retina display - Apple Support
How do I adjust the resolution of my Retina display?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012 and later) displays have a 2560-by-1600 native resolution at 227 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors.
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 and later) displays have a 2880-by-1800 native resolution at 220 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors.
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) displays have a 5120-by-2880 native resolution with support for millions of colors.
If you need to adjust the display resolution, choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu. The Retina display offers scaled resolutions that allow you to have text and objects appear larger on screen, or to make them appear smaller which provides more space on screen.  Note: Scaled resolutions do not offer the same visual quality as the Retina setting. Scaled resolutions may also impact graphics performance depending on which applications you are using.
MacBook Pro with Retina display (13-inch) scaled resolution choices
MacBook Pro with Retina display (15-inch) scaled resolution choices
iMac (Retina 5k, 27-inch, Late 2014) scaled resolution choices
Retina displays only use scaled resolutions rather than specific resolution settings like external displays. If you need to use a different resolution than those available on the built-in display, consider attaching an external display via HDMI or Thunderbolt.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

  • How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini?

    How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini? Text does not look crisp.  Using Samsung 27 inch monitor with HDMI input

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. Depending on your version of Mac OS X, it may be set for "Best for Display" in which case it should already be set at the optimum for your monitor, or it may display resolution options in which case you should set it for the native resolution of your display.

    According to the copy&paste from wikipedia, HDMI should support higher resolution than 1920x1200. So the question is, does it aupport that on the mid 2011 mac mini. It says in the specifications
    "Mac mini is designed to work with HDMI devices that comply with versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2a, 1.3, 1.3a, and 1.4 of the HDMI specification."
    That should mean it should be able to support it, but I don't know : <

  • My laptop meets minimum display resolution for Lightroom 5 but bottom of windows display off-screen

    I installed Lightroom 5.3 on my older Lenovo laptop with 1280x768 native screen resolution.  When I open Lightroom and try to set up preferences, the lower part of the preferences window is displayed off the bottom of the screen and I am unable to move it up to make changes.  The same thing happened when it asked me to download the update to 5.5; I could not get to the bottom of the window to say yes.
    The Lightroom 5 specs say the minimum display resolution required to use Lightroom 5 is 1024 x 768 display.  My laptop exceeds that.
    I am using Windows 7 64bit and LR 5 64bit.
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    Don

    Any chance you have set display scaling to Larger - 150% in Windows 7 display settings?  It is possible that that is affecting the display size of LR.

  • Screen resolution for 13' MBP for Parallels?

    anyone happen have any good ideas for settings for screen resolution of my windows virtual machine on my 13" macbook pro? I'm trying 1440 x 1020 and everything seems stretched and rasterized.
    TIA.

    The 13" MBP has a maximum screen resolution of 1280 x 800. Nothing can push it higher, because that's how many physical pixels the screen contains.

  • Display comparison for 2011 MBPs

    I am about to upgrade to a new 2011 15" MBP and the only remaining decision I am making is if the HD display is worth it. The store I visited only had 15" MBPs with standard glossy displays. They looked great. They also had a 17" with the upgraded matte display. It looked good too but I don't feel it was an accurate comparison.
    Has anyone seen a side by side comparison of 15" models with standard and HD glossy displays? Is it really worth it?
    I will be working with CAD programs and other design software.

    lets say u restricted the first column like this
    bring amount in columns
    right click edit
    bring in fiscal period  from left to right from time dimension
    right click fiscal period
    hit restrict
    enter range of variables
    hit ok
    hit ok
    copy this amount
    paste it
    now go in 2nd amount
    go to fiscal period and hit restrict
    u see variable
    select variable and right click and hit SET OFFSET
    enter -12 twice
    now i am asking u to create interval between two variables whose entry is single value
    becos
    u will use text variable for display
    and text variable will only take single entry variable for replacement
    so use text variable
    go to dispaly and hit Entry of variable
    create new variable
    hit replacement path
    processing by fiscal period
    got to replacement tab
    replace variable with variable
    choose ur 1st entry variable
    similarly create another variable with selecting another variable
    now use proper offset length and offset start for proper display
    i dont know which time char will u use but my assumption
    is with respec t to assumption
    u will use fiscal period

  • What is the maximum display resolution for Adobe Reader X?

    Hello, 
    I have a multi-projector classroom that projects a 14,000 x 1200 pixel (Windows 7) desktop in a wrap-around manner.   When I load a pdf document with Adobe Reader X, the content will not fill the screen, even when zoomed in.  It appears the max. resolution is around 9-10k width.  Full screen mode does use the entire area but the leftmost ~4000 pixel width is gray.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    I'm sorry -- I have not communicated my question well.   When I use full
    page mode (no window borders, Ctrl-L) and zoom to many thousands %, then
    entire screen (14000 pixels by 1200 pixels) is not used -- only about 9000
    pixels x 1200 pixels.   The entire screen should have document content
    because I'm extremely zoomed in.  There is no meaning to pixels/inch in
    this context (and I tried your suggestion -- it made no difference).   This
    seems to be a hard limitation of Adobe Reader X screen display...?
    Thanks,
    Scott

  • Odd Display Resolution

    1280 x 800. Is this the default display resolution for the MacBook? Sorry for this trivial question, but I am in a hotel room using the WiFi here and one of the web-pages I customarily view looks different. Of course this is really rather minor, but on account of jet lag, I am wide awake and this is somewhat worrying me. Is it possible that a display resolution can fluctuate without me adjusting it manually? The news web-page I check daily, is never displayed with a scroll bar at the bottom. Now, however it's there, and I am wondering if the resolution setting somehow got changed. So what is the standard one, anyway?
    Thanks kindly in advance.
    ~ john

    The horizontal scroll bar will show up in any application, including Finder windows, anytime there is more to be presented horizontally than the width of the current window allows. It could be that the width of the content of that Globe site you reference is right on the edge of being too wide for a full width browser window on your MacBook. Accounting for slight differences in how information is rendered between the two browsers, Safari and Firefox, Safari is pushing it over the edge and the horizontal scroll bar appears automatically as it should. I imagine the scroll amount has very little stroke or range to it, correct? Like maybe just a few pixels?

  • How to enable widescreen resolution for external monitor on Equium A60?

    Hi
    I have got a Equium A60 with a ATI Radion Mobility 7000 grahpics chip in it. A short while ago the LCD died and decided to use a external monitor instead of replacing it. However, the external monitor is a 22" widescreen monitor which the computer does not provide a suitable display resolution for. Is there any way of updating the graphics card driver to provide widescreen formats. I have looked on the toshiba updates but there is nothing any newer on there and ATI are unwilling to offere support on a laptop.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi
    You cannot choose your favorite resolution because the graphic driver does not support it.
    Possibly the 3rd party driver would support your favorite display resolution but to be honest I would not use such drivers because it could cause some serious notebook troubles.
    The point is that such 3rd party drivers are not tested and not certified by Toshiba.
    Therefore the usage is only at your own risk.

  • Using a TV as a display for my MBP

    Hi Folks, I am interested in a Kanex product - their Mini Display Port to HDMI adapater. It looks like, if I choose the right TV, I can connect my MBP to the telly, via the aforementioned cable, and see exactly the same display as I see on the MBP's monitor - no black bands, no loss of dock or menu bar...
    However, I don't understand enough about tellys to work out which spec. to ask for, and I also see that there are a bewildering choice of aspect ratios, pixel counts, HD, "HD ready", "HD not-ready","HD not-quite-ready, but-might-be-soon" etc.etc. It's all too much for me!
    Does anyone out there know exactly what I should ask for at the telly shop in order to get a telly that exactly matches the shape, size and resolution of the MBP display - or am I asking too much of today's tellys??

    [SIZE="3"]You can use Mini DisplyPort to HDMI cable; Or Mini DisplyPort Adapter(Supports audio) + HDMI to HDMI cable.
    See here: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-30-30-gold-plated-mini-displayport-male-to-hdmi-m ale-6-feet-cable.aspx
    You can connect it directly from MBP to HDTV. But you know MBP can not output audio through Mini DisplyPort. If you want to get the audio, you need an adapter.
    See here: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-56-26-mini-displayport-male-and-toslink-audiousb- male-to-hdmi-female-adapter.aspx

  • Highest resolution for external display for late 2012 retina?

    I have a 15" late 2012 MBP with retina display.  I'd like to get an external monitor but I'm not sure about the highest resolution for an external display this Mac will support.  It looks like the 4K displays with only work with later models.  So what are you using and how do you like it?
    Thanks
    Amy

    Yes, the 2012 MBP w/ Retina Display will support an external 4K display (using the Thunderbolt/mini display port)

  • Finding the right resolution for MBP to projector

    Hi there,
    I have a lecturer who uses a MBP 15" to project powerpoint slides and him using circuit modelling software.
    What I've noticed is the whole setup is quite cumbersome:
    eg:
    The projected image is not wide screen like the MBP (i am guessing the projector is at 1024x768)
    This means when he runs a simulation for eg. the output pops up in it's own window, and usually off the visible screen on the projector.
    needless to say, he spends alot of time awkwardly resizing windows and shifting them around just to illustrate a basic point.
    My question is, if I help him resize the resolution so his MBP matches the projector, will the MBP switch back to native when he unplugs it? Will the MBP remember the projector settings next time, and resize automatically when he plugs it in, or will he have to fiddle with resolutions everytime he plugs it in? ( if so, shame on you apple!)
    If so, does anyone know of a utility out there that would make this process easier? ie Detect that the projector is connected/disconnected and change the resolution accordingly.
    Thanks for your help - it's difficult watching him fiddle as the proj screen is behind him and he has to turn around to see what's acutally visible to the class! It should be easier than that - it's an Apple!
    Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4)

    Hi
    I have the same issue - when I'm presenting, most of the time I use the customer's projector, so I have no idea what resolution it will be. My MBP 17" widescreen generally offers me different resolutions after the autodetect, but they're either larger than the projector display, or half the slides are missing on the right hand side.
    Is there a way to choose other resolutions?
    Regards
    Shaun

  • Setting different resolutions for different displays?, setting different resolutions for different displays?

    Hi,
    I have a 30" dell display that I have used with my MBP. I recently got a MBA and installed mountain lion.  One of the things they inexplicably removed was the ability in the menu bar to set different resolutions for different displays. The only way I can get my Dell Monitor to work is to use mirroring. But I don't want mirroring. I want two separate displays.  In Snow Leopard, the drop down display menu in the menu bar allowed you to pick different resolutions for different displays. Is there any possible way to do that in Mountain Lion?
    Tom

    Yes, assuming that the 8" display has a resolution that the Mac can support. When you open the Displays system preference, you'll get a settings window on each display (as long as the option for Mirroring isn't checked).
    Regards.

  • I am unable to play a downloaded HD movie from iTunes. SD movies play OK. An error popped up saying something about the display not suitable for HD movies but now all I get is a blank window. I have tried changing the display resolution to no avail.

    I have sownloaded an HD movie from iTunes store and when I attempted to play it on my Windows 7 PC a error message popped up saying something about the display not being compatible for HD movies. I have tried changing the display resolution several times but it didn't help. Now it just comes up with a blank screen when I attempt to play it. SD movies work fine. I have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

    Apparently the display is required to be HDCP compatible to view HD movies in iTunes. My display isn't so this is my problem. I contacted Apple support and they have agreed to credit me for the HD movie and I have now downloaded the SD version.

  • I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it. Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read... I sent on the PC setting to try to change the display resolution.

    I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it.
    Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read...
    I went into the PC settings and tried to change the display resolution. This changes the size of all  the icons (not only Adobe) but it does not solve the problem when I open an Adobe application (Photoshop or Illustrator)... The PC is run under Windows 8.1 and my display resolution is 3200x1800 (but again, when I change the settings for a smaller resolution, only the size of the icons is affected. Once I open the software, the problem is still there, extra-small toolbars...). Help!!!

    Anything before CC is not high-DPI compatible. Feel free to continue to experiment with your system settings.
