Screen resolution on Macbook

I'm about to purchase a Macbook, and am wondering the screen size (In pixels) that the Macbook screen is.
I know on my 15" Powerbook it's about 1280x860.
Does anyone know the amount of pixels on the Macbook screen?
Thanks in advance!

Very nice screen, and good resolution for its size..... . Better than my sisters 15' 1024x768 windows laptop....

  • Poor external screen resolution with macbook pro retina

    Hi guys, pretty frustrated but i hop you can help
    i have a mid 2013 macbook pro retina 15inch. i've downgraded in screen size from my imac 24inch. i purchased a 32inch lg smart tv to use as an external monitor but the resolution is horrific. i thought i could get myself a lot of screen retail space but it only seems to run in 1080p and everything is far to large and blurry. i'm connecting using HDMI. i've tried different colour profiles, i have tried using this script in terminal that i found to turn on font smoothing for all monitors but it doesn't work
    defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 3
    any one know what i can do? i'm truly gutted atm

    Something that's running on your machine (or something that's connected to it) is preventing it from sleeping when you close its built-in display. It should sleep and stay asleep as soon as that display is closed, unless you are running it in clamshell mode:

    Does the computer sleep properly when you close its display if the external monitor is not connected to it? Does the monitor have a USB cable that connects to the computer, in addition to its video cable?

  • The screen resolution in 1920x1200 dropped on my MacBook Pro 17". Seems like I have not the same pixels. There are also vertical, thin lines on the screen. Makes the screen look milky. Anybody knows what's going on and how to fix it?

    Take it to an Apple Store or other service provider for testing.

  • What screen resolutions are available on His-res 15" MacBook Pro?

    Hi.  I can see in the apple web site specs what the various screen resolution settings are for the standard resultion, 1440x900,
    15" MacBook Pro (1440x900, 1280x800, 1152x720,  etc.)
    But what are the settings available for the 15" MacBook Pro with the hi-res (glossy to be specific) screen?
    I know the native resolution is 1680x1050.  Are the other settings as for the standard res also available?
    And while I have your attention, does anyone know what type of LCD panels are used on the standard and hi-res displays?
    TN, PVA, IPS ?

  • Macbook Pro Retina Screen Resolution Issues

    I have just bought a retina display Macbook Pro (Early 2013) with OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion. 
    Before getting it, I did not realize what an effect it would have on the use of my existing programs, and had I known, I would have thought twice before switching from my non-Retina Macbook Pro. I have never had so many problems with a brand new computer. On my retina screen, programs such as Microsoft Office 2011, Adobe Creative Suite 5 and Acrobat Pro X run with an awful screen resolution and impossibile legibility. The pixelated graphics and image quality hurt my eyes, beyond the fact that I cannot see my lines, images and text properly in order to work with them.
    In these programs, the "Open in Low Resolution" button is enabled permanatly and cannot be changed as it's option is ghosted out. I do not know how to make it look better or what to do. I cannot work using this low resolution and this issue has affected my productivity.

  • Trouble with screen resolution when using Parallels and ACT on Macbook Pro (late 2013)

    Hello, I have installed my Sage ACT 2013 software on my Macbook Pro 13" Retina (late 2013) computer that has 16GB of RAM and an i7 core processor using Parallels 9 desktop and Windows 7- 64bit.  The problem is that the screen resolution is very small and condensed to the left side making reading the title boxes and content very difficult.  I reached out to Parallels who was unable to resolve the screen resolution by either  adjusting the display settings or the Windows 7 video settings. Right now they have the Resolution listed as "Scaled" as the "Best for Retina" & "More Space" options did not help the issue.  What is even more strange is that I have Office 2013 installed on the Parallels side so that it can interface with ACT and those screen resolutions read just fine.  Are there any ACT/MAC users out there that might have any insight for me? Thx!

    See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.
    In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.
    The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
    Good luck,

  • Switcher ?Can you change the size of the screen resolution on the Macbook?

    I'm really interested in buying a Macbook. This will be my first Mac. I love the way they look and feel. I'm concerned with the size of everything on the Macbook. The overall size of the fonts in applications such as word, or safari was too small for me.
    Can you change the size of the screen resolution in OSX like you can on Windows? In Windows doing this makes everything visually bigger.
    Please say you can. I'm really wanting the Macbook as it would be great for for a student like me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive soon.
    Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive White soon.

    With an LCD, if you change the resolution, things will be bigger, but blurrier.
    You can however keep the resolution of the LCD at its native resolution, giving the maximum picture quality, and then use tools, such as Tinkertool…

    … to modify the font display size of items such as the menu bar, Finder labels etc etc.

  • Unsatisfactory 15" MacBook Pro Native Screen Resolution

    I recently purchased the latest 15" MacBook Pro and am disappointed with the native screen resolution (1280 by 800), in which the fonts are JUST a little too small.
    On the Apple site, it lists 1440 by 900 as the native resolution for this model, but I have yet to see that option listed under System Preferences. There only "Native Screen Resolution" (just small enough to drive a person crazy), or "1440x800", so on and so forth.
    What am I missing here? Has anyone else seen this on their models?

    For the MBP, the highest resolution on your machine is the one you want. In your case, it's 1680 x 1050. Don't worry about "native"; in some cases, the setting is wrong, and it should in no way affect your computing.
    I had a feeling that this was just the way the machine was built. I'm aware that it has no effect on the computing. I just wanted to bring up this issue because it's disingenuous from Apple's side and frustrating to a customer to list the aspect ratio specs on the site and not have the machine actually reflect that. Whatever is listed on the site should be what a person buys.
    I am assuming that there is no fix or software update that would help correct this issue. However, i do want to make the comment that while this machine is great, I personally feel that it would be nice for future models to have the system fonts in the highest resolution to be just slightly larger. The current resolution for this MBP is set where it is just small enough to be hard to read. My two cents.
    Thanks for your help.

  • My 13" Macbook Pro's screen resolution is messed up.

    My 13" Macbook Pro's screen resolution is off. I restarted it yesterday and it has been bad since. For best quality I am having to put it on 1024 x 768 (not stretched) which the highest, but still not as good as original and not full screen. HELP PLEASE!

    After about three restarts a new higher reolution option appeared (odd) and it is now fixed.

  • Macbook Pro late 2013 - problem with login screen resolution

    Hi,
    I've got problem with login screen resolution, after upgrade to Yosemite. I use the 4rd resolution (last one) on my Mac Pro (late 2013), and after restart login screen is always on optimum mode... But it's only about the login screen.
    Do you know how can I fix it? I would like to have the same resolution on every screen.
    thx in advance

    I  Reformatted the CF card  on the new computer   it works fine now on the new Mac Pro
    Interesting point about  the low power  of the usb ports   I had to deal with all devices ejecting them selves  when the mac pro  was idle or slept  Drobo needed a Firmware update and another drives  needed  me  to change the sleep setting  or the Mac Pro   to never and  i also  had to deploy a  script to write to each device  ever minute,   this  kind  of sold the problem  with external Hard drives.   I wonder if the lowering  power  to a CF card   can eject  it  in a manor  which would make the  computer  think it is corrupt.
    I have looked at  buying a power usb Hub    but seems only one or two  of the ports are powered. 
    Seems to be a bit problem with the mac pro especially  as everything has to be connected externally  
    Will assume the Firewire Connector does not work.

  • Using Mini DisplayPort to VGA, screen resolution distorts.  How do I fix?

    When I use my Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, the resolution gets too big for my screen (mbpro 15") and the same thing appears on the projector I use. I'm not sure if I should change my screen resolution while I use the projector or what?
    Also, the first (and only) time I used it, it seemed as if the signal wouldn't even send. After a while of fiddling around, the screen finally showed up on the projector (distorted) but we didn't do anything different to change that. It just kind of did it on it's own. Is this common for "first uses" or will this happen every time?
    I plan on using this again Friday.

    Welcome! If you have mini displayport, you should try the appropriate discussion group for your newer machine:

    Although some things are very similar to the original Macbook Pro, many are not.
