    Why is there no scaling in OS X for high res monitors?

    I recently had to return a 25" Dell U2518D monitor with a native resolution of 2560x1440 after having a hard time trying to work on it (text was too small). But WHY is it that high res screens have no way of adjusting the UI without changing the resolution? Windows does this perfectly fine on...

    What's the deal with display scaling?

    I bought a new 2018 15" MBP and for the first time I'm dealing with the concept of "display scaling". And on my new "LG UltraFine 4K Display": So the point is, I get more screen "real estate" when selecting "more space" and more "per-pixel density" using "larger text". But I'm not clear as to...

    Final Cut Pro 10.4.1 Captions Caveats

    So, when I tested the new feature, the captions did not appear in the viewer and could not be exported. I scratched my head as to why this was. I watched some videos, and they seemed to just be able to drop them in and have them work. I figured out why captions didn't work with my projects. My...

    Now that I have a new iPhone 8 that can shoot 4K video, I tried it out and imported the footage into iMovie. I experimented with 4K video clips only for my first "project" and it uploaded to Youtube and it rendered in 4K (actually 1440P) which is fine. For my next project, I mixed some 4K...

    can't get my new 4K monitor to display correct resolution/scale

    Hi all, I just got a new 27" 4K monitor from NEC when my old Apple Thunderbolt display died. I was wondering if there is a way to have OS X display at the same scale as it did on my old 27" display. Right now, basically the two only real options I can see are "3840x2160 (low resolution)," which...

    Screen size vs. resolution

    Currently have a MacBook Air 11' 128Gb, but there are two things bothering me. Running out of storage with the 128gb, so should really need 256gb The small screen size I opted for the 11' for portability, but that won't be too much of a factor anymore after summer. Was thinking of the new...

    iPad Pro How is the scaling on the 10.5" Pro?

    I recall people claiming that the 10.5 would probably have poor scaling due to apps having scaling made for the standard iPad size which is 9.7". How does the new 10.5" handle?

    Changing key photo in live photos

    In iOS 11 you can change the key photo for live photos. Are all the photos you can pick between taken in full resolution? I thought only the main frame was taken as a full res photo and that the rest was a low res video file.

    Ipad 10.5 resolution

    I have read that the rumored new iPad 10.5 may have the same resolution as the current 12.9 iPad Pro. Does this mean apps will need to be updated to accommodate this new resolution? If so, my hope is that this will mean these updated apps will improve the 12.9 experience as well, which has been...
