Do tell me if it would burn your GPU when you play games. But it works fine on my Hackintosh now.ĭ. Also white screen for less than a second after logging in but before your retina desktop shows up. Known issues: Lag a tiny bit when switching spaces. It is possible to be the same and, following this tutorial, you can add multiple EDID profiles to /System/Library/Displays/OverridesĬ. I have not tested it with multiple displays, laptops or even TV. Make sure you delete these folders before applying this tutorial.ī. Instead I got irrelevant DisplayVendorID folders in /System/Library/Displays/Overrides. I was unable to add resolutions on my Hackintosh.
Some other tutorial shows how to add custom resolutions with Switchres and Quartz Debug. I hope this answer gets to users with this setup because it is really frustrating to use 16:10 resolution on a 16:9 display.Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guideĭo NOT try to choose 2560 x 1440, though. (Sometimes it doesn't show up right away, play around with it and it should.) Go to SwitchResX and select the new custom resolution in the Current Resolution tab.(or simply close the window and use the prompt up) Go to Thunderbolt Display tab, and add a Custom Resolutions with Scaled Resolution at 2562 x 1440.Apple Care, I would expect that I can at.
For me and many other users this is unacceptable behaviour and completely destroys the Mac experience. Currently these isn’t working anymore on Apple Silicon MacBooks.
Install SwitchResX and open it from System Preferences. Since 2013 I use a custom resolution of 1920x1200 HiDPI on my MacBook Pro 13' with help of SwitchresX.
Most users with this setup, I believe, are trying to use 1280x720 HiDPI because it's half the native resolution of the TBD.Īccording SwitchResX's FAQ, in some cases it is not possible to set to this resolution because of a bug within OS X itself.Īfter contacting the developer, he presented a workaround - adding one more pixel - which worked for me. So download new version SwitchresX, add a custom resolution like 5120x2144 into internal display, remember to save it and restart the mac.
The only tool I found that actually gives us the options is SwitchResX. You will not see the HiDPI options to be selected. FYI I'm using HiDPI successfully on 1920x12x1440 displays. If that's the case, anyone with a low-resolution display may be out of luck simulating HiDPI. However, since it is a Sudo command, you need to enter the Admin password. When you have completed the 1st step, press the ‘Return key’ to run the command.
Open a new terminal window and simply copy-paste the below command. Note that using SwitchResX to add these resolutions does not work most of the time. SysPrefs->Displays is filtering the resolutions in a way that SwitchResX is not. Click on a resolution to ensure the switching works as expected. After rebooting you should be able to see both the HiDPI and the regular resolutions in SwitchResX. These methods DO NOT work for MBPr with Thunderbolt Display, for whatever reasons. This is lower width than 640x480 which (I believe) may be the lowest resolution supported by OS X, outside of messing with private stuff (see SwitchResX). Enable HiDPI Mode in macOS Mavericks or Higher. If you run SwitchResX with both installed you'll be able to select either one and activate it even though both are not available in SysPrefs->Displays. Close SwitchResX to save the settings, then reboot your Mac to activate the resolutions.
