If you have a Retina MacBook Pro, you'll find a new checkbox in the Get Info window for an application: it says "Open in Low Resolution." This box is checked for Pages, for example. Unchecking it cleans up the text enormously. Why would the box be there and why is it checked for iWorks packages? (And is there any harm in unchecking it and getting clearer text?)

Disable low resolution in Retina Macbook
Much like kirkmc, most do not have this model, so why would that option be set by default? It’s easily changed for those who have the new MacBook Pro.

I have the model and I do not see this option in my version or Pages. ---

I don't think the option shows up at all on non-Retina MacBooks (I can't find it on mine), so it makes sense that the higher resolution would be turned on by default.

The "Low Resolution" option is not selected by default, and most existing apps work just fine in HiDPI mode. However, Apple selectively activates low res mode for apps with known incompatibilities with HiDPI mode.

Kirk, there have been a couple of Retina hints that you couldn't check. Sounds like you need to hit-up your boss at MacWorld for a new MBP-R! :-)

Yea, it's really a bummer. I was considering buying one to replace my year-and-a-half old Air, but there's a 4-week wait. So any decision as to whether to buy one or not has been put off. ---

Sorry, somehow I posted the original as "Anonymous".

OK, I've now found bugs in both Papers and Numbers that appear when Low Resolution mode is off. In addition to the issue I found with Pages (above), I found that in Numbers I couldn't extend a spreadsheet, evidently because the application thought the drag tab was somewhere other than where it was displaying.

Apple has release a knowledge base article on the retina display that mentions this checkbox: |
