New 2016 MacBook Pros default to scaled non-native Retina screen resolution, here’s how to change it

<div class="feat-image"></div>
<p>A little-known fact about the new 2016 MacBook Pros is that Apple changed the default screen resolution configuration. With a fresh install of the operating system, I noticed that my new 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar uses a scaled screen resolution that does not 1:1 map to the display’s native 2880×1800 resolution.</p>
<p>This setting is called ‘Looks like 1680×1050’ and offers more space at the expense of some blurriness, most noticeable on text. For the best Retina quality, you need to dig into the settings, although this will mean sacrificing some screen real estate. See a comparison, and how to change these options, after the jump …</p>
<p>Apple has changed up the resolution of all 2016 MacBook laptops. This how to guide on best Retina screen resolutions applies to the following MacBook &amp; MacBook Pro products (with slight variations on the actual pixel numbers):</p>
<ul>
<li>2016 12-inch MacBook</li>
<li>2016 13-inch MacBook Pro </li>
<li>2016 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar</li>
<li>2016 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar</li>
</ul>
