Can apple pls, pls, pls, tell me when can you fix the problem of m1 chip not support hidpi on external monitors? Or do you even aware of this problem?

I've been using mac for a long time, and i was able to connect to a external monitor with high resolution and good size fonts using 3rd party softwares, like one-key-hidpi or rdm.

However, now with your latest m1 chip, none of them work anymore. Now i can either use a high resolution with ant size fonts, or i can choose big font size with blurry displays resolution, which is very annoying.

so, are we going to fix this issue? or is there any workaround for this?

I wanted to buy an external monitor for my MacBook Air M1, but now I just don’t know what to buy. Is there one compatible?

Got the same problem. All third-party solutions seem too buggy. Never had a a problem like that with apple.

Just registered here especially for this topic. A few months ago I bought a new Ultra Wide Dell monitor. I have a MacBook on Intell chip and everything was fine with monitor and mac. Super clear and vivid picture, perfect fonts rendering, and so on. But just a few days ago I got a Mac mini with M1 chip and after connecting it to my monitor I was shocked. Blurry fonts and icons and as a result eye strain and headache. I simply can't work. This is just awful. And it was made by intention. Why? Why do I need to spend extra money on the 4k monitor which is not needed for me? This is just insulting for your users. Fix it!

I am very glad that a solution has appeared. But why should I be so perverted so that my eyes don't hurt from the monitor picture? Ah, Apple?

As a reminder to everyone who is unhappy about the current situation with HiDPI and does not want to use BetterDummy: Apple is not watching this thread. They never will. The only way to reach them is to contact them via the Apple feedback form https://www.apple.com/feedback/ . According to the Apple Care Senior person who I talked to in the last days this is the only metric that is actively monitored/watched to improve their products. The form literally takes one minute to fill out. Thank you all!

+1. Using my 1440p monitor (Gigabyte M27Q) with my Windows laptop gives very crisp text and UI elements. It's blurry and fuzzy when connected to the new 2021 MacBook with M1 Max. Please fix, this is a ridiculous experience for pros, Apple! We shouldn't need to resort to third-party solutions such as BetterDummy (which doesn't support higher than 60Hz refresh rate, which I'd like to use on my monitor)

Please Apple for the love of everything you consider holy, fix this issue, it's really embarrassing that you cannot scale QHD monitor without having to look at blurry text and get a headache, this is unacceptable.

i feedback to the support team but no one answers me about this problem. mac os 12.2 released but still i have screen flickering, low quality screen only because i use apple silicon chip. why me and many others must have bad experience but apple and support don't care about it. the only solution is not let this topic get down. we should tell them every day that we have problem. that's the difference between apple products and pc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
