This compromise of panel resolution and UI density felt awkward for a pro machine. The default 16-inch MacBook Pro scaling mode simulated a 1792 x 1120 display. To make matters worse, Apple set the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro to a scaled resolution by default the 2x native resolution was available in System Preferences as an option, but it wasn’t the default. This gives users more real estate for on-screen windows, however the scaling is imperfect (as it’s not an integer scaling like 2x is) and therefore produces resizing artifacts, like slightly blurry text.įor pixel purists, this kind of scaling is far from ideal, bordering on sacrilegious. To do this, the OS renders at a higher resolution and then shrinks the rendered content down to fit inside the native pixel grid of the display.
In order to mimic denser displays, Apple offered simulated software scaling modes. However, many customers wanted the ability to show more content on screen at once. Like all Retina displays before it, Apple rendered the interface at 2x scale, which meant available screen real estate in macOS was the same as a 1400 x 900 display, but everything was twice as sharp. The Retina MacBook Pro was first introduced in 2012 with a display resolution of 2800 x 1800. Most notably, the high-end MacBook Pro once again features a native 2x resolution as standard…
This brings with it a new selection of scaled screen resolution options in System Preferences. In addition to larger physical size and smaller bezels, mini-LED high contrast ratio and 120Hz ProMotion refresh rates, the screens also feature increased native resolutions with higher pixel density. The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro were announced to much fanfare yesterday, with one of the hero features being the new Liquid Retina XDR display.
