1.8 Alpha HiDPI

jackzhao · 09-18-2022, 06:49 AM

Hi, I meet exactly the same problem with 'phzfn'. The newly introduced HiDPI mode in 1.8 Alpha is not as good as expected. It is blurry compared to the original macOS HiDPI. Hope this issue could be fixed in the following versions.

PS: I am using MacBook Pro M1 2020, with a Dell D6000 dock station, and two Dell U2723QE monitors, tested with dual 4K@60hz.

Same for me, blurry images, MacBook Pro, Apple M1 Max using a docker with a DL-6950 chip.

Text is fuzzy on my DisplayLink'd screen in 2560x1440, the 'Enable experimental 3008x and 2560x modes' checkbox does not seem to make a difference.
*I do see the output on the displaylink'd screen being reset (black momentarily) after enabling or disabling, so I assume its trying to apply the new feature.
**It's nice to see the resolution slider for Scale for the Displaylink screen in the macOS Display settings.

my setup:
DisplayLink Manager 1.8.0 Alpha
2020 mbp m1
Monterey 12.6
Plugable UD-6950H Docking Station
dual 4k screens
screen1:thunderbolt directly to mbp
screen2:displayport to displaylink docking station

It is 3 years later and this issue still persits with DisplayLink Mac 14.1. Anyone found a solution?
