Okay, mystery with #macOS 15 and later not supporting external legacy displays is revealed!

System settings just ignore subset of resolutions that worked in the past (you won't see that even if you check "all" resolutions) so you have to use a don^H^H^H^H application like this:

Just realized I did not have HiDPI enabled on BetterDisplay for my Ultrawide & Vertical monitors. What a difference! Jeez...

Momentary bound to use a "mobile" desktop and I must say that the #Apple #MacBookPro + #iPadAir 13" as #sidecar screen with #BetterDisplay setup is really nice.
Currently running #macOS on a 2704x1756 (#macBook ) + 2732x2048 (#iPad ) dual display setup.
This does not even require the paid version of #BetterDisplay.

The reason I have installed is that, bizarrely, ’s TV app does not play content as true . So everything appears much darker than it should, despite the display being able to handle it. Better Display enables you to use the full brightness range for true HDR playback. 🤩

I’ve been thinking for a while now that I could do with a slightly higher resolution on my . Not as much as the ‘more space’ setting, which makes text too small, but just a little bit higher than normal. Turns out that , which I already had installed, can do this and even gives a smoothly sliding scale of resolutions between those officially supported by . Who knew? 😄

I have confirmed that the 2013 13" MacBook Air (i7) does support 3840x1080 @ 50Hz under , though not 60Hz.

Of course, on the M1 Mac mini _does not_ want to let me use a 3840x1080 _at all_! I've tried (github.com/waydabber/BetterDis) to no avail. Any other hacks these days?

Diesmal mit neuem Antrieb am Crosser und der Antwort auf die Frage „Marcus, warum fährst du nur ein 34er Kettenblatt, hast du keine Körner in den Beinen?“, meiner Schwäche für Apfelkraut und dem Problem das hier in der Region zu bekommen, der Ablösung von MonitorControl durch BetterDisplay, dem wohl simpelsten Anwendungsszenario für die Shortcuts App auf iOS, einem Kommentarsystem für statische Websites/Blogs und wie immer Techno.
