Hi, I just got my new Macbook Pro Retina and installed Win7 through bootcamp and I'm having HUGE video/resolution problems. First of all, when the drivers got installed, the resolution was very high and after switching it to a lower one, any application I turn on has a weirdly big font, blurry quality etc, overall most applications look very ugly and I was wondering if someone here has experienced something similar and knows the cure. I didn't have this issue on my old normal white macbook when Win7 was running.

Cheers

Your Mac's Specs
Late 2013 rMBP, i7, 750m gpu, OSX versions 10.9.3, 10.10
What resolution did you set it to? The 2880x1800 resolution of the rMBP is a 16:10 resolution. Setting to any resolution less than native will affect quality, but setting to any resolution that isn't 16:10 will give even poorer quality then a 16:10 resolution. If it were me I'd probably try 1680x1050 or 1440x900. 1440x900 is an even divisor and may give you better quality then other 16:10 resolutions - it takes 4 pixels exactly of the retina display to render a single pixel @ 1440x900 where as it takes (for example) 2.05030849549122 pixels to render 1 pixel at 1680x1050
