Q: low-res screen after migrating to new Mac Pro
just migrated from an early-2008 Mac Pro to a new Mac Pro. The older machine is running 10.10.5 as well as the new machine. On the old machine I was running 2 cinema HD displays. For the migration I left one display on each machine. The resolution on the new computer is lower than it should be. Desktop icons are large and the text is larger (set to 10 points in view options).
The System Preferences Displays panel shows resolution as "default for display" or "scaled". Under scaled it shows only 1280x800 and 1024x640. The default is selected by I have tried both of the scaled options.
Since the displays are older, they are connected with a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter.
Thanks for any help you can give.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
