Hi there jputting,
I also use switchres x to control the resolution on retina macbooks and macbook pros. Please see the below link which is published by the maker of switchres x. It's not great reading sadly for El Capitan users.
But the display shows 'Resolution: 3840x2160, 60Hz' (at the bottom of the Menu). It bothers me cause I have some performance issues working with this display. I also have Dell U2715H display (2K) at home which doesn't show any performance problem at all. I assume the problem is in Mac OS scaling but don't see a way do diagnose or fix it. Download LINKInteractive company is now back again with the new game which is now finally available for. There have been two major changes in DNS resolution in Mac OS X Snow Leopard as compared to Mac OS X Leopard and previous releases, and this tip is intended to explain them. 1) User-specified DNS servers, if any, are now used to the exclusion of all others.
Upon running into this issue myself decided just to downgrade via time machine back to yosemite. Frankly I'd rather have the resolution i want/need so didn't mind going back.
Not sure if there will be a solution to this, however it really should be possible for a user to select any resolution they wish, or allow the apps that fill the gap to work. As you quite rightly point out not everyone fits into one of 4 categories when it comes to display preferences.
I hope there is a solution going forward, I know it's possible to do it with some jiggery-pokery, but not everyone wants to or is comfortable doing so.
