For example, this doesn’t do much of anything for my LG Ultrawide, which can’t display a stretched resolution. If a monitor can’t display a stretched resolution, the best it can do for a HiDPI is half the resolution of the maximum native resolution. With both these effects in place, I can get a 1280×720 “Retina” resolution on my old MacBook Air 11. Thus, the text is four times sharper because it uses four times as many pixels to render text. Enabling HiDPI enables you to use a “half-resolution” or HiDPI. N.B.: This works because of two effects: SwitchResX enables you to go to a scaled resolution larger than the largest “native” resolution on many monitors (AKA “stretched” resolution)-including the MacBook Air 11 built-in monitor. If you’ve never used Terminal before, here’s a quick breakdown of what’s happening in its screen. Now HiDPI (AKA “Retina”) resolutions should be available in the SwitchResX menu, assuming your laptop screen is capable. Terminal will ask for your admin password.
