Windows laptops manage this out of the box, Linux also manages this 9 times out 10, why is Apple letting us and themselves down on this?ĤK at 32” isn’t quite HiDPI.
#SWITCHRESX M1 HIDPI PRO#
But it still won't help when you turn up to a conference room, plug in your fancy-pants MacBook Pro to whatever random display is there, and it looks crappy. The rest of the display industry is certainly dragging their feet on HiDPI, especially 5K, so it is a helpful (if pricey) option there. Some of these issues might be rectified by buying the new Studio monitor, if you happen to have $1600+ going spare. I've heard this could be another EDID issue, but regardless of cause it seems to be a lottery as to whether scaling options are available or not. There are now also scaling issues with M1 based Macs as you've described. If the colour bug occurs on a low DPI monitor the two issues combine and it can look terrible. Whatever the technical reason it leads to bad colours and also worsens text quality. There have been longstanding bugs with Macs detecting the wrong colour format a monitor uses, something to do with EDID (the way a monitor tells a computer what features it has) not being handled properly. This has the unfortunate side effect of making font rending look bad on "normal" DPI screens, of which there are still plenty of around. I've come across a whole bunch of issues using external monitors with Macs in the last few years.Īpple went all in on HiDPI and removed subpixel antialiasing from font rendering a while ago. Monitors and Macs have not played nicely for a while.
