The IT guy at work is going to get one of these for us...

    I have a Mac Mini 2012, Running macOS Yosemite. The Monitor is connected with HDMI and the screen seems to be impossible to fit the monitor. Any resolution advice with SwitchresX or any app for the same thing?

    Optimal wallpaper dimensions for scaled displays?

    If I have a 4K display scaled to 2560x1440, what should the dimensions of my wallpapers be if I want the crispest background possible? Will 2560x1440 wallpapers look as crisp as the scaled UI on a 4K monitor with native dimensions of 3840x2160? Or should I strive to download 3840x2160 wallpapers?
