Hello, I apologize if this has already been asked, but searching gave nothing =(

I don't know when it happened (I don't check Displays preferences pane often) but today I noticed additional screen resolutions on my 13" MBP, some are even above my native 1280x800.

I haven't connected to any external display/TV so I have no idea where they came from. This could have happened after I moved to Lion though.

640x480 option is gone as well, which puzzles me :confused:

Why?

The display switches to that resolution. But since its not native, the image becomes blurry.
 
What localization are you using on your computer ?

I noticed the screen grab was in english but your profile says Japan/Korea.

I cant come up with anything. It's weird.

Its Matrix-style desktop picture, but how is it relevant ?

Of course it doesnt look blurry, the image itself is 1440. Its not native on my display so it does look blurry. Screenshot wont capture it obviously

The Japanese symbols/writing on the desktop.

It doesn't look blurry to me. And I'm looking at it with a 27" Cinema Display

Oh dear. There are two things wrong here.

1) You didn't recognise that as a 'matrix' themed desktop image; and

2) You do realise that's a screenshot. It can't be blurry (in this situation) because the 'blurriness' is caused by the 'zooming' of the screen (to fit a 1440x852 into a 1280x800 LCD)

You could set the resolution to 1440X852 on the 2010 H-Res MBP

"could set" is not "native" and you definitely didn't need a H-res MBP for that. Anyway, this is not relevant to the issue at hand.
 
Well... The doc says that if it hurts when you do that, don't do that!

Similarly, you could just ignore the higher resolutions for now, assuming that it's not a problem. If you repaired your permissions I have no idea what could be wrong.
 
either don't mess with it or just roll back to 7.2 and try installing the combo update again. Maybe try an external monitor and see what it does then. If anything I would take it into an apple store and show them.
