    Do QHD external monitors look bad on M1 Max?

    Hi there, I currently use a u4021qw (WUHD 5120 x 2160) and the font and images look great.

    I use an external 4K monitor (LG 43UD79-B) with my Intel 16MBP. I always have this setting checked `Reopen windows when logging back in` when I shutdown my Mac. The problem is that the windows don't always open in the same place upon startup. Chrome windows are usually quite well behaved but...
