HiDPI on external QuadHD display?

[Pawełek]

Hi.

I have Macbook Air M1 connected to external 32" Quad HD display but unfortunately everithing on it deosn't look too good. Image looks harsh and pixelated even on 2560x1440 res set on it. Is it possible to enable HiDPI on it without having to screen mirror internal display? I would like to use built in display and at the same time have independent external one.

the only possble way is to mirror custom resolutions you make for the built-in panel of the Air. You can set custom HiDPI resolutions with switchResX. I've been doing this for my Air + Dell 2k display. It's decent, just wish I could use both at the same time.
