This MacBook screen resolution probably makes on-screen controls and text almost unusable. However, in some situations it might make a lot of sense, like those times when I want to hook it up to a projector and mirror the built-in display with the projector’s display. How can we adjust the MacBook screen resolution to make it look the way we want? Users may prefer using a lower resolution if their eyesight isn’t as good. Younger people may prefer using a higher resolution since they can see small text and buttons easier. We will need to adjust the resolution to make it work the way we want. Change MacBook Screen Resolution Using System Settings See the four options below, the built-in controls in OS X Settings and three app options. OS X includes a built-in way to control screen resolution. To find it open the computer’s Settings app either from the Dock or by clicking on the Apple menu button in the upper left corner of the screen.Ĭlick on the Display tab to show the MacBook screen resolution settings. By default OS X comes with Default for display selected. This sets it at a lower resolution of 1280 x 800 (on the 13-inch MacBook Pro) which many say looks the best on most MacBooks. However, users can change this by selecting Scaled. When the user selects Scaled four options show up below it. The arrangement goes from the lowest resolution option on the left to the highest resolution option on the right. Apple labels them Larger Text, Default and More Space. A fourth option sits between the Default and More Space options. I’ve listed the numerical resolutions for these four options on my 13-inch MacBook Pro. 640 x 480 or VGA resolution labelled Larger Text.1280 x 800 or close to 720p resolution (the Default option).1680 x 1080 is the option labelled More Space.1440 x 900 is the unlabeled option of the four. I prefer the unnamed 1440 x 900 option most of the time.
