What’s the difference between 1366×768 and HiDPI?
The values are in natural byte-order (big-endian/Motorola byte-order, not little-endian or Intel byte order). 1366×768 would be: Note that the value you enter here are in hex. 0x556 is 1366 and 0x300 is 768. In order to make it HiDPI capable, you must also add another scaled resolution at twice the custom resolution above, so… 2732×1536.
