- m463 7y agoI'm not running the latest os. On my displays I could only get the list of resolutions for my monitor, even holding down alt with preferences. Meanwhile apple displays showed this dialog: https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare/images/en_US/displays/adjusting_display.png https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare... Maybe the latest OS allows it?
- lightbulbjim 7y agoYeah, maybe it's the OS version. I'm running Catalina and I see the scaling options from that screenshot for my external non-Apple monitor.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoI don't know what you're seeing but the retina scaling options don't appear on any non-Apple display I've ever used. (Unless I hack the kexts.)
- Aloha 7y agoWorks for me, I'm using two fairly new dell 4K screens, as far as I know it works on any hidpi display
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoIt does for me on both LG and Dell monitors.
- dont__panic 7y agoYou generally have to use the right equipment -- using mini displayport or thunderbolt 3 instead of HDMI, depending on the generation. It's definitely finicky (much like getting guaranteed 4k60 output, especially through a dock)
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoAh, maybe that's the key, I almost exclusively use hdmi.
