Hello everyone! I recently purchased the MBA M4 and set it up with two 27-inch 1440p monitors at work. As I’ve been exploring features like MST and HIDPI, I’ve encountered a few challenges.
My primary monitor connects through a DELL DOCK using a DisplayPort cable. In the display settings, I can select a resolution of 2560×1440, but it appears without HIDPI, making it look quite poor. The default HIDPI option only works for lower resolutions, which makes everything oversized and impractical.
I discovered that by using one-key-hidpi, I could achieve a 2048×1152 resolution with HIDPI enabled. This setting gives me sharp text that’s just the right size. Iām curious if this is the maximum resolution I can reach under my current setup with HIDPI activated.
Additionally, is the one-key-hidpi the optimal method for enabling it? At home, I have an LG 34 21:9 monitor with a resolution of 3440×1440, but I haven’t connected it yet since I lack a USB-C cable and a hub. I wonder what resolution I can expect with HIDPI enabled for my LG monitor.
Can anyone recommend suitable cables or hubs for this connection? I assume an HDMI to USB-C cable would allow me to connect my LG at home, and I would need a hub to connect my second monitor at work. Thank you for any advice you can provide!
