With a fresh install of the operating system, I noticed that my new 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar uses a scaled screen resolution that does not 1:1 map to the display’s native 2880×1800 resolution. This setting is called ‘Looks like 1680×1050’ and offers more space at the expense of some blurriness, most noticeable on text....
