Default for me is sufficient. I browse web, write documents and edit 4K video in Final Cut Pro using full screen mode for most apps. No lag.
Got a tip for us?

Native (default) resolution; a bit more space would be nice but things get a tad too tiny for me then.
1440x900. Coming from an Air this feels much more familiar than the 1280x800 which reminds me of the old MBPs.
Hi guys, I was wondering if on my 15'' pro I switch the resolution to 1680x1050 would it also decrease the quality of videos I am watching - or does this only apply to text for example?
The questions sounds stupid, but I can quite get the impact of scaling on video quality

I keep trying 1440, but I can't seem to get use to the small amount of lag I notice. I wish it weren't the case as I love the more space, but the lag bugs me.

After this thread, I've actually gone back to 1280x800 and it does seem a little smoother than before
Haha I go back and forth. I really want 1440 to work. Currently feels pretty smooth. Who knows? Maybe it's all in my head.
