This Amazing Solution Enables MacOS HiDPI with Any Screen Resolutions
A solution to make your external monitor display any HiDPI resolutions
I purchased the SAMSUNG 34-inch Odyssey G85SB Series QD-OLED Ultra WQHD Curved Monitor some days ago. This is a 3440x1440 OLED monitor and works great with Windows 11.
The HiDPI resolution problem
When connected to MacOS, I can choose two types of HiDPI resolutions, one 3440x1440 and another 1720x720.
The default 3440x1440 displays small text and is a little bit blurry. The 1720x720 display text way too large.
I tried to set the resolution as 2560x1440. In Windows, I can set the scale to 1.5, and works well. However, in MacOS, tried on both Macbook Air M1 and Macbook Pro M3 max, no matter what I do, I can only select one additional HiDPI resolution: 1720x720.
