VMWare Player 12.5.9 High Sierra HiDPI Settings

[alex_10]

Hello!

 

I've been running High Sierra (Currently 10.13.3) on VMWare Player 12.5.9.

I'm running it on a Dell XPS 15 9560 with the 4k screen.

 

Currently I'm able to run OSX in either Native 4k resolution, or scaled to 1080p.

 

I wanted to know if it was possible to add a 1440p scaled mode? Right now if I force 1440p resolution using VMWare tools, I simply get a smaller window with the virtual machine. So, as I understand, I need to add a HiDPI version of the resolution.

 

Can anyone lend a helping hand?

 

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! But I still only get the option of Native 4k and 1080p in the "scaled" section in Display Preferences.

 

Any other ideas?

After that command?

[alex_10]

Yes. I ran the command, checked the preferences panel and still only get:

 

Default for display (4k)

 

Scaled:

 - 3840 x 2160 (4k)

 - 1920 x 1080

 

Any ideas ?

 

And thanks for the help! It's greatly appreciated!
