On my 2015 12" retina MacBook I use a custom HiDPI resolution of 1536x960 and sometimes 1680x1050. I'm planning on upgrading to a M1 MacBook Air, which has a 1.3" bigger screen, within the next week or two. I read that people have successfully gotten 1920x1200 using SwitchResX. But I'm worried that 1920x1200 will sometimes be a bit too high for me. Ideally, I'd like to find a way to get custom HiDPI resolutions of something like: 1760x1100 or 1840x1150 (this might be perfect for me), which cut the thirds between 1680* and 1920*. There's also 1792x1120 (16" MacBook Pro uses this resolution), which I'd probably be fine with.

TL;DR: What are my options for getting custom HiDPI resolutions over 1680x1050 for the M1 MacBook Air?

You can setup custom HiDPI resolutions.
