The Upcoming Display Resolutions for the 14-Inch and 16 Inch MacBook Pros are Likely to be Revealed in the Latest macOS Monterey Beta
Two new display resolutions have been added to macOS Monterey beta. They will likely be compatible with the forthcoming 14-inch and 16 inch MacBook Pro models. If the new resolutions are available, they are "3456x2234 Retina" or "3024x64 Retina." This would indicate an increase in pixel density to produce sharper images.
