The resolution switcher Apple forgot...
What does QuickRes do?

"QuickRes is the best way to switch between screen resolutions on your Mac"
With a 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display, QuickRes will allow you to set your resolution all the way up to an extreme 3840x2400... and on a 5K iMac you could go even higher than that! With Macs that have legacy displays, you can set your resolutions to things you've never seen before, including a HiDPI mode, which is as close as you can get to a Retina Display on a standard monitor.
*Although we cannot confirm this, many users report better battery life and higher performance when using higher resolutions on computers with Retina displays
"You impress me greatly with this app... I can't tell you how badly
I wanted this app from the moment I bought my Retina." - Steve Wozniak
"We use your software on our Macbook Pro's with Retina displays to allow
users to properly display their screens on our conference room computers."
"QuickRes has a straightforward and no-nonsense approach that many users (including me) will appreciate and prefer. Itβs a great tool for Retina MacBook Pro ownersβand any other MacBook userβwho needs to switch resolutions on a regular basis."
"If you want to switch resolutions quickly and easily from your Mac with a retina display or just want HiDPI mode on your regular monitor, QuickRes is the way to go."
