- naikrovek 2y agoThat’s what changing the resolution on MacOS does. On Windows, resolution and DPI are separate settings. On MacOS they are combined into a single “resolution” and you pick from a list that makes sense for the display in question. You pick the “effective resolution“ of the display, but the native screen resolution is always used and the DPI is changed to scale things up or down until they are scaled the same they would be on a monitor of the chosen resolution. There are a few choices in that list, denoted by “(low resolution)” or something, which set the indicated resolution and leave scaling at 100%. Those look horrific on MacOS but they are options.

- __mharrison__ 2y agoNotched MBPs can't do HD through resolution changing. (I would love to be proven wrong on this. See my other comment for hoops I jump through to get around this.)
- mrunkel 2y agoWhat exactly do you mean by "can't do HD?" I can set my display to 1728x1080. That's HD. I can also output my Mac to an HD TV, Projector, etc. And I have the notch on my MacBook Pro. Do you have some other definition of HD that I'm not understanding?
