A 27' 4K display is even worse, especially on the Mac side, since at 163 ppi it sits directly between the two.

3,840 x 2,160 - 163 PPI in a 27” 👎 - Bad for Mac - PPI is at this dangerous midpoint between MacBooks and MBP. It results in a pixel density thats too high to use without scaling, and the artifacts and application problems that can come with that (especially on Windows), but not high enough to give a Retina-type experience of very sharp text.

HP 27er display - 82 PPI 👍 - Good for Mac.

MacOS can only “see” the resolution (Pixel count) of the display. Folks buying a Hi-PPI monitor, but one that’s only 3K, and they’re wondering why it doesn’t have Retina assets. This results in a low-res desktop experience locking the user with too small or too big fonts and GUI, and there is no way to change that. I’ve seen some confusion about this online. On some displays, like those sub-4K displays with 1080p or 1440p resolutions, Apple Silicon Macs do not allow high-resolution display modes, namely HiDPI, and does not do scaling well. Important: MacOS only sends Retina assets to 4K or greater monitors. If you’re running one of these PPI’s in between 128 and 221, the OS is going to have to scale things in odd ways. It sends the Hi-Res ones to 4K+ displays, and the low-Res ones to anything under 4K. Granted, a pair of 2560×1440 monitors delivers more pixels than a single 4k monitor but you have to contend with. Get a monitor that’s either 221 or 128 PPI (or as close as you can reasonably) - give or take 10 PPI. (The older ones were about half, at 128 PPI.) The most important spec to pay attention to on these monitors is Pixels Per Inch (PPI).īuy a monitor with a PPI that matches your Retina MacBook or older MacBooks, but nothing in between.

This is due to fractional-math problems because the external monitor is 163 PPI and your MacBook Pro is 221. When you lower MacOS’s resolution down to anything below Native, now you’ve got blurred text. If I set the User Interface size to 300 (while in 4K mode) that is the size it becomes, however that then makes other things like player and npc names unnecessarily and awkwardly big. Hardly anyone runs their Hi-DPI monitors in Native res. PS5 4K resolution UI too small, unreadable In WQHD setting it is a mostly readable size, however the ideal size is when fullHD is selected. blog post has excellent advice on solving the clarity issues when you run a Retina-level external monitor - and you run it at lower-than-native resolutions, which is 90% of the time.
