I’ve a triple monitor setup, I exploit it for my gaming pc primarily. This setup till November was 3 1080p 27″ displays. I exploit a Dell D6000 Dock to attach my 2018 MacBook Professional (and when WFH in lockdowns my work Mac Mini). I am again within the dwelling workplace however the setup has modified since I final used it (which labored completely).
I purchased a brand new 1440p 165Hz beast of a gaming monitor, I have been utilizing it on home windows since November with completely no points. All you want to do is whack 1 slider as much as set an applicable show scale and also you’re carried out.
On Mac I am having a couple of extra issues getting this show scaling to work correctly. I have been getting eye pressure this week when my foremost monitor is about to 1440p, its actually dangerous. If I set the show to 1080p the pressure goes however the high quality of the picture is worse than my aspect displays. The aspect displays on home windows look blurry, when in comparison with the principle and I paid alot of cash for my new monitor and I am very pleased with it, so I wish to run it at full whack.
The Show menu is complicated for my part as a result of it shows completely different scaling choices for retina & non retina shows:
Retina
Non Retina (That is my precise show settings for the monitor in query
I want to run the show in order that the display scaling matches 1080p, however I would like the picture to be on the full decision of my monitor, 1440p. I’ve had a glance into each RDM & SwitchResX however do not actually perceive what I am doing.
RDM
I do not really get many choices on this program. I get the same old choices which might be obtainable in show and only a few “Retina” choices.
If I attempt to choose 1280×720, nothing occurs in any respect. If I choose 1280×800 (16:10 so an incorrect side). the display modifications and shows a very prime quality picture with the OS GUI scaled and at a a lot much less eye taxing dimension.
SwitchResX
I’ve performed about with customized resolutions however cannot get it to ship a 2560×1400 60Hz sign scaled to 1920×1080. If I add a customized decision it simply marks it as invalid, even when I exploit the preset supplied by this system.
I actually cannot stay with the OS GUI scale of native 1440p on macOS. All the pieces is simply that little bit too small and its genuinely inflicting me bodily ache to make use of my setup which is tried and examined for years (by no means had ANY points on the 1080 shows). I am planning an improve of my aspect displays to 1440p as-well so I actually need to crack this difficulty earlier than I’m going and triple my drawback… 😔
I attempted issues like following this gist to set the display to 2560×1080, even turning SIP off (which appears scary to me).
Would these points be attributable to my use of the Dell D6000 Dock? I am connecting it to my mac through Thunderbolt USB C & I exploit the supplied HDMI 2.0 cable to attach the dock to the monitor. I examined the particular cable with my home windows machine and was in a position to run the panel at 1440p + 165Hz so bandwidth is probably going not a difficulty. My dock helps as much as 3 4K shows so once more I do not suppose there are any bodily limitations in the best way. This can be a purely software program difficulty and I’ve received to say disappointing from apple. Their iOS accessibility is prime notch, however their mac accessibility appears to be rubbish if this expertise is something to go by! and I am not alone!
For now I am operating the monitor at 1080p, all the pieces appears blurry however no less than I am not going blind….
