I recently moved from a 2013 MBP to a 2017 Non Touch Pro. I noticed that when I went to scale the resolution, I now only have four options. Is there any way to get the fifth to show up?

My 2013 looked like this:

My 2017 looks like this:

Any idea? Im used to using that maxed out resolution from the 2013..not sure why they would get rid of it now
 
I see that they have five options, while I only have four. I guess there's no way to max out the res anymore?

IT's the same. On new MBPs, Apple just defaults the setting to More Space (3rd level instead of 2nd)

ps. they have 5 options because it's a 15 inches
 
"More space" on both should be "Looks like 1680x1050".

Yeah it is. for some reason I felt my 2013 Mac, on the max resolution, had way more space than I do right now on the max resolution with the 2017..
