MacBook Pro Retina Display UPDATE!

[Mattgfx]

Went to the apple store today and noticed that you can now change the display size by numbers and you can use the native size + larger! no longer THIS weird settings

Can anyone confirm this software update?

 

[Mr MM]

its been actually like that since the release

 

[goMac]

Yep, the RMBP has always been like that.

 

[Auzburner]

Yeah, this is no update. The rMBP has had the preference since launch. And many are adding downloaded software to control customized resolutions as well.

Its been like this

since release. Im saying that it has changed from the above to now just resolution numbers.

 

[jcpb]

Not seeing any new software updates. Then again, since I'm using RDM and running the MBPR at native res, this hardly matters to me anyhow.

And how it looks now, like on eny other Macbook?

Are you sure you weren't playing with the non-retina MacBook Pros?

Betting on this.

I hope this is true. The option of picking by text size is confusing. Does Apple think 2880 is too big of a number for us to read lol. There should be the option to choose based on the original way

I wonder if there's a trick other than Dling an app to give you the normal resolution setting. Like a terminal command or the hold Cmd+Opt while clicking display thingy.

Betting on this.

I know for a fact i wasn't. Maybe the computer was running MT. I was in the Greenwich, CT store. Ill try to grab a picture next time I go.

I'm running Mountain Lion DP4 on my rMBP (lion is absolutely unusable on this thing!) with the latest patches and there are no resolution options for me, still text options Best (retina), More Space, etc. Still no option to go native res without third party tools. I would be interested in seeing a picture of what you're describing.

 

[Auzburner]

Running updated Lion. I'd love to see a screen cap of that.

 

[Mattgfx]

ill try my best to get one soon for you guys. I was pretty excited when i saw it.

 

[NewbieCanada]

I'm still showing "best for Retina" etc., and there are no software updates available.

Went to the Apple store in Gran Central yesterday and they didn't have it. Ill head over to greenwich today and see if they still have it. I believe its older software.

When you highlight the blocks with your cursor the 'looks like' resolution appears, like so:

(my mouse cursor was over the second to last block, OS X's screenshot function seems to remove the cursor from the 'shot but you can see the block is highlighted around the edges)

That's the only place you'll see a resolution actually listed. There's no more traditional list of resolutions to pick from even in ML.
