What are the best display settings for the sharpest text? I have read that 'Default for display' is not the best for sharp text and that 'Scaled-looks like 1440x900' may be sharper at the expense of screen real estate. Interested on your take on this.




2017 non-tb 13" MBP.
 
Im using default for display. If i use more space i cant see a squat,obviously because its 13.3 inch screen.
 
The "native resolution" - aka, the sharpest and clearest image - for the 13" Retina Pros is the "looks like 1280x800" setting, and for the 15", it's the "looks like 1440x900" setting.
