The Treehouse Show covered a tool that allows people with awesome displays to see their work in poor displays.
What's the name of that tool?

I guess resolution is the wrong word. My designers have retina displays and I don't. I want them to be able to see how their work will look to most of our users.

Or you could just set you monitor resolution in half or around 1680x1050.
