I am getting a new 15" Retina MBP and want to know which res switching app is best to display native 2880x1800? Which do you prefer? Is one better/more stable than the others?
Got a tip for us?

Hey--turns out that's just the more current version of "SetResX". Thanks for the tip!
It mostly depends how good a persons eyes are.

OMG Thanks so much, dude! Turns out this can enable HiDPI scaling on non-retina displays like my external Samsung. Fonts now render a lot nicer on my external display.
LOL, I just downloaded RDM.app on my computer because I was hoping it would allow me to push my external display resolution from its native 1680x1050 resolution to 1920x1200 and it did way more than that - up to 4K! And, as far as I can tell it is at 60hz. I am doing this on a cMBP 2012 13" with an HDMI adaptor. Oh, AND it pushes my laptop's built in display to 4K also, and it makes my mouse cursor about 2 pixels tall 
After switching back to native resolutions everything seems so big!

Its not really 4k as you don't have that many pixels on your display.
