With 15.0.1 (and possible 15.0, I can't remember), the external display doesn't work correctly. I use an external display via a thunderbolt dock with the laptop in clamshell mode: MacBook pro to Caldigit TS4 over TB4, then to display via displayport.

External display 27"/4k - Scaling problem, really?
Hi all, Has anything changed with Ventura when scaling the UI? I've stayed away from a Macbook for years because of the constant talk of reduced screen sharpness on external displays when using a 27"/4K monitor, for example. Now I'm a new owner of a MacBook Air 15", and I'm using a DELL U2720Q...- migoelo

M2 Mac Mini with external displays
If I’m planning to use two external displays, both connected by Thunderbolt, would an M2 Mini Pro be a better idea than an M2 Mini for performance? Or does performance only depend on how you use the machine software-wise? I haven’t used dual displays before and I’m not sure what specs might make... -

External display looks bad on M1 MacBook Pro and M2 Mac Mini
So I just bought my first Mac Mini (the new M2) but noticed that the colors of the screen are bad. They are really inaccurate.
