Well, for what it’s worth, the resolution limit isn’t the issue. Pick whichever method best suits your needs, though with the Retina MacBook Pro just now starting to ship to many customers there’s a high likelihood that better options will soon be available. ChangeResolutionĬhangeResolution is a new tiny AppleScript front end to a command line utility that changes the resolution to 2880×1800: You can set it back to the default resolution either through System Preferences or with scrutil s 1440 900. The command will report back the resolution change, the 16 at the end is color depth so you can set that to something else if you’d like. Once installed, changing the retina display to native 2880×1800 with screenutil is achieved with the following command: Launch Terminal and drag and drop scrutil into the command line to use it once, but if plan on using it often it’s a good idea to toss scrutil into /usr/local/bin for easy future access. Get ScreenUtil now (direct download link).Slightly more advanced due to the nature of the command line, the free utility called screenutil gets the job done immediately with a quick entry into the Terminal: Hopefully the developer of SetResX will find a less shady site to host their app, but nonetheless SetResX does work. Get SetResX (be sure to click the lower download link, not the ads on the page).Probably the easiest option of them all, SetResX is a little menu-bar app that allows you to run 2880×1800 easily. SwitchResX has a lot of technical customizations available within it, possibly making it overkill for this task. This shareware app is free to use for 10 days before it wants to be registered. Install the preference panel, select the Retina Display, and add a custom resolution setting for 2880×1800. A reasonably simple solution, SwitchResX is a third-party preference panel that allows you to run custom resolutions on any display.
