MacOS - new low resolution display modes

Just noticed this after the latest macOS update (11.3.1) - you can now set a low res (non-retina/HiDPR) mode:

Handy if you need a 1:1 pixel screen grab or if you need a little more performance (not sure why else you’d want to use it, other than perhaps games?)

Well it’s about time. It was embarrassing to have to use exotic key combos or 3rd party apps for that.

Mostly because of external displays.

Why are you so focused on screengrabs? :thinking:

In my case, I am occasionally using my 21:9 gaming 35" display with my iMac Pro and it doesn’t have enough display modes to be able to emulate Retina so I just use a 3rd party program to instruct it to use its native resolution + the maximum Hz it can.

Where Next?
