    14" MBP owners, what resolution do you run?

    What resolution are you running on your screen? Default, more space, less space? The default always feels nice at first but it leaves a lot of useful screen real estate available that could be more efficiently used. I've always run more space but have been trying out the default. Not sure I can...

    I'm looking for the closest resolution to the retina screen as I can find, while still being compatible with my older macbook pro (13" late 2013).

The IT guy at work is going to get one of these for us...

    I have a Mac Mini 2012, Running macOS Yosemite. The Monitor is connected with HDMI and the screen seems to be impossible to fit the monitor. Any resolution advice with SwitchresX or any app for the same thing?

    Optimal wallpaper dimensions for scaled displays?

    If I have a 4K display scaled to 2560x1440, what should the dimensions of my wallpapers be if I want the crispest background possible? Will 2560x1440 wallpapers look as crisp as the scaled UI on a 4K monitor with native dimensions of 3840x2160? Or should I strive to download 3840x2160 wallpapers?
