    iPhone 14 Pro Application UI Scaling

    I've swapped over to an iPhone 14 Pro recently from a Galaxy S21 and have noticed a few apps are not scaled very well; for example the Amex app. I've also noticed text seems to be larger in Safari or Chrome when browsing compared to my old phone. I've tried: Making sure Display Zoom is set to...

    There is not a problem with modern Macs and "4K scaling"

    I have posted this information so many times now in forums and on video comments that I put together some wise words from a Mac video hardware expert (not myself) and accounts of my own, personal experience with my somewhat odd, 4K-like display (~140dpi) that needs to be scaled like a 4K...

    Display for Mac mini M1

    I have decided on a Mac mini M1 and need to buy a display, but I don't know which one. 🤷‍♀️ People recommend 4K but what scaling do you use then? Many people seem to prefer 1440p scaling but it's not native on macOS on a 27-inch 4K display (may affect the performance). Running 1440p on a...

    I do mainly UI/UX design. At the moment I have 2 27" Dell monitors NOT 4k. I am always wishing I had more real estate when working on designs. My friend who does the same type of work uses the Dell 27" 4k and scaling. My questions is could my laptop support 2 27" 4k monitors with scaling? Or...

    How to scale MacOS to any size you like

    Just in case people don't know how to do this... I was trying to find a way to enlarge MacOS on my external 1440p monitor, as all the UI text was a little too small to read comfortably. But do so in a way that didn't result in the blurring that happens when you reduce the monitor resolution. I...

    HiDPI scaling on Dell U2515H - MacOS Sierra

    Hello everyone, I use a macbook pro (early 2013) in clamshell mode connected to a Dell U2515H (via displayport). This is a 1440p monitor. As discussed in threads before, it's very hard (/impossible?) to get 720p HiDPI working on MacOS Sierra. Does anyone know if there is a new fix or method to...

    iPad Pro How is the scaling on the 10.5" Pro?

    I recall people claiming that the 10.5 would probably have poor scaling due to apps having scaling made for the standard iPad size which is 9.7". How does the new 10.5" handle?

    Making text bigger: Retina 4k w/ 'Larger text' vs. 1080p w/ lower res

    I'm buying a 21.5-inch iMac and was wondering if the more expensive Retina option is worth it if I'm going to use the 'Larger text' scaling option to get bigger text (I have poor eyesight). In other words, if I cannot use Retina's native res, does it make sense to get one over the cheaper 1080p...
