I tried out a scaled resolution on my 27" Thunderbolt display to see what it was like, I have bad eyesight, but the largest option is the 2x option of 1280x720 scaled, and my eyes can do a bit better than that. On the retina Macbook Pro you're given a few bigger options, but not here with the Thunderbolt display. Does anyone know a bit of a hack to enable say, 1600x900 scaled resolution? That would be perfect for me.

The HD4000 is dealing with my 13" MBA's display and this scaled resolution pretty well too.

Thanks

I think Apple also has to supply the apt icons and others for each mode. That's why its limited.

Just tried it on my iMac and sad to say I got what you got. I Wish there was a little higher res but lower than the max, would be perfect.
