[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1610238, member: 56379"] As you noticed...1920 x 1200 looks the best (crisp/sharp) because this is the MacBook Pro's "native" resolution. Which is always best to use for best visual quality. And yes...I know exactly what you mean about everything looking so small (I have a similar/same model 17" Model MacBook Pro). This is the price we pay for so much screen "real estate" on just a 17" display. You can "tweek" a couple things without changing the resolution. If you're working on the computers desktop area...you can go to: - Finder menu - View - Show View Options Then adjust the text size (10 thru 16). If you are using an internet browser like Safari or Chrome...they also have settings that can adjust text size. And the Apple "Mail" app also allows you to adjust text size. HTH,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
