Ratings and Reviews
Goldilocks screen scaling
I just got a new 27" 4K monitor. At the default native resolution, text is too big; but with the first scaling click down in the Apple control panel it's too small.
EasyRes shows me what these resolutions actually are: 1920x1080x60Hz (retina) and 2560x1440x60Hz (retina) respectively. But it also lets me select a half-way resolution of 2304x1296x60Hz (retina) which for me is Just Right.
Superb Little App
I like applications that do one job, do it well, and try to get too big for their boots.
EasyRes was the only way i could get the correct resolution (2560x1440) for my 27" 4K monitor to consistently run at 60Hz.. no idea what macOS was playing at or struggling with but this is so simple, i love it!
4* due to some weirdness occaisionally when i re-start the computer, and it doesn't quite start properly. But this really is a slick, focused app that i would recommend in a heartbeat.
Must have for the MacBook
This is a must have for using on a MacBook. The one thing I hate about using the MacBook is not having enough screen space to work with. This app lets me run up to 3584x2240 (I use 3072 x 1920) by allowing the display to use non-retina. Amazing for development work.
