Default "looks like" screen resolution for M2 Air?

[blakespot]

I used a number of 3rd party screen resolution manipulation apps to test-setup an odd display on my M2 MacBook Air while I waited for the intended Mac for that screen to arrive. I have told these apps to reset values back and remove any changes, but I'm wondering if I'm back to where I started.

The native screen resolution of the M2 Air's display is 2560x as stated on Apple's specs page for that model.

13.6-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology;1 2560-by-1664 native resolution at 224 pixels per inch with support for 1 billion colors

My Displays control panel looks like this, presently:

The default "looks like" resolution (HiDPI resolution) is 1470x956 for this screen, according to what I see on my system. (If I select the Default for Display radio button at the top, the screen does not change; it's still at the indicated 1470x956.)

Can someone confirm this is the case on their M2 Air? Also, are others only seeing 4 scaled resolution icons below the radio buttons? On my other Macs, I see five...

Thanks to any who might respond.

This is what I see on mine as well. Believe it's as intended.

Thanks, even including just the 4 scaled icons?

Yup, exactly.

It should be 1280 to give 2x. I can't get it to stay on 1280 through a power cycle.

That’s true, but 2x hasn’t been the default for a few years now.
