Macbook Pro and Display Resolution

[benos]

My GF was complaining that all the windows - internet browser, folders, system prefs, etc. - are huge. So I looked and they were. For a standard sized web page, you had to scroll left/right big time to see the whole page. I don't remember it being like that when I set it up for her - because it's really irritating to work on.

The only way I found to get everything looking nice and clean again was to adjust the display resolution in the System Prefs to 1344x840. It was set at 1024x640 - which is what the System Profiler says the display resolution should be.

My regular MacBook is 1280x800 or something like that. Has an external display ever been connected to it? Or has a user-defined profile been created (you can do that on the calibration panel somewhere)?

Mine is 1440 X 900.

Go to the Apple Menu

About this Mac

Select Graphics/Displays and it should show you the native resolution.

The only resolution display there is the resolution I select in Sys Prefs/Displays. Which is now 1400x900, and it looks perfect.

Thanks everyone.
