Thanks for that.
I would still like to see a Mac as the UI will be a bit different and what I was really after was a screengrab or print screen on a pc not a photo of th r monitor. That way I can scel
It correctly in photoshop on my screen to see it in situ.
hope that helps. If you want to see a special application or something I'll see what I can do

Don't suppose you have photoshop, Illustrator or Indesign as thats what I use all day everyday for work.
I use Affinity, here it is with a random unsplash image
Everything is incredibly small. I could not work with that and my eyes are good
thanks again. Are you on the LG 34"? I was thinking of the dell 40" so same resolution/pixels but slightly bigger pixels and bigger UI at native (might still be too small). I think I may just have to be patient until a better M! chip comes out that can run higher scaled resolutions
can anyone please suggest from their experience some reliable decent 32-34 inch USB-C monitors that are fairly problem free with the M1 Mac Air.
I am not a professional and don't work from home but would like a half decent bigger screen to connect to the M1 Air im getting Friday. Prefer only USB-C so I can just use a single cable to power and display....
It seems a lot of people are reporting problems with various monitors and how well they work with the M1

I'd recommend you to get a good 27 inch 4K monitor. MacOS needs at least HiDPI mode to make text nice to read. I have a Samsung 34 inch curved screen (3440x1440). The font size is OK but text is really ugly. Now I use a 27 inch 4K screen in HiDPI mode (2560x1440) most of time. I've tested Dell U2720Q and LG 27UP850. Both are very good in color accuracy and can work with M1 MBA or MBP with 1 USB-C cable. Dell is better among the two.

Shop a 27 inch USB-C QHD monitor that complements your home with a superb design and enhances experiences with brilliant color, clarity & USB-C connectivity.

would this one work? its $200 cheaper?
Sorry but you are a 'little' OT. Maybe is better to create your own topic or just browse the forum (this question as already been asked).
@itsphilgeorge - I saw your table of max resolutions.
On my Intel iMac 5k, I can do these resolutions with QuickRes (which is like RDM: )
I'm disappointed that M1 is a step backward from this.

3008x1269 imo is the best resolution to use this monitor at.
Text is sharp, readable, not too tiny/large. I can also have 2 windows side-by-side comfortably for productivity.

This was a pain to fix.
First I tried https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/mac-help/mchlp2660/mac but it did not help.
I had to take a video of the screen, pause it when the convoluted screen was visible, look carefully where the mouse cursor was, move the mouse carefully, take another video, pause the frame and adjust again until I could navigate my way to Displays settings preference pane and click on Default after about 20 cycles.
Once I could fix the screen this way, I installed LG's OnScreen Control and ensured that the monitor has the latest firmware.
Then switched DisplayPort to 1.4 from 1.2 in the monitor settings.
After that, I did not dare to change the resolution to Scaled with the fear that it would make the monitor back to the unsupported resolution.
Used SwitchResX to select 3008x1269 and can finally breath a sigh of relief.

Hey,
in case you missed it there is a new version of OnScreen Control 5.14 at https://gscs-b2c.lge.com/downloadFile?fileId=AVp4sGPMIWNWWx0tU5loew . Believe me or not it is an M1 compiled app

At least in Windows 11 (which I'm using right now) the app doesn't find my monitor anymore lol.Hey,

Well, does it come with a new firmware or something? I still don't really understand if LG can do anything about the problems with the M1 Macs.
It works much better in comparison to the old version on my M1 MBP although it does not give me new firmware it is still worth updating. I do not need to wait 30 seconds to load the app from the menu bar...
I've ordered the M1 Max with 32 GPU Cores. It arrives on the 2nd November. So I will report back. Sick of this issue.
