Unlock your displays on your Mac! Smooth scaling, HiDPI unlock, XDR/HDR extra brightness upscale, DDC, brightness and dimming, virtual screens, PIP and lots more!

Have a high-resolution display that Apple's macOS doesn't accept as such? Use BetterDisplay to smoothly scale its resolution without buying any new hardware. Apple should have done that, but they haven't.

@felixkaiser This is the kind of thing I’d randomly build if I could and your description of it is exactly how I’d put it myself… 😅. Awesome stuff!!! And of course, Congrats on your launch 🚀

@ogurinkaben Thanks. Passing on all kudos to @istvan, I’ve only hunted it.

Hello. Congratulations on the launch. I had a moment and decided to use a parallel screen. What does Better Display do?

Congrats on the launch of BetterDisplay!

Cool stuff, team BetterDisplay. Will try it out.

I use this to increase the resolution of my 1080p external monitor (zooms it out and makes everything look crisper). Also fixes my 4k external monitors that Apple makes look blurry. A must have for me. I had to use virtual screens (which their wiki notes as having drawbacks) since the other option wasn't working for me. The only downside I've found so far when using virtual screens is that sometimes when an external monitor with a virtual screen has nothing moving on it, it starts displaying a frame that used to be on that screen like 5 seconds ago. When i move my mouse to that monitor and wiggle it, it updates back to the current display. Mildly annoying, but it could be an OS limitation so I'm ok with it.

I loooove this software. I'm here to post how good BetterDisplay is, to repay them. Better than the competitor (? which). Worked with my Intel Mac and with works with my M4 Mac with a 43" Samsung 70NC. The monitor has the perfect dpi for Apple and is 16:9 so you get more room for cheaper than those wide but shallow monitors.

this app saved me nearly £300 pounds, I use it while zooming, it has enabled me to give eye contact while doing meetings. The support offered was absolutely amazing.
