Hi All,
I am using 2 LG 27UK850-W 27" 4K monitors on my M1 Mac mini. One using USB-C the other via HDMI. The HDMI monitor has different resolutions for HiDPI available and I am not sure why that is or if it can be changed. Perhaps it's a limitation of HDMI.
I discovered this issue when I first used the system preferences. After changing both to the same scaled resolution everything looked much bigger on the HDMI connected monitor. I looked at SwitchResX and indeed the resolution was different. So I used that tool to change that. My preferred resolution is 3008x1692 in HiDPI. This works perfectly on the USB C connected monitor. The HDMI one does offer 3008x1692, but not in HiDPI. It looks washed out when I use it. The highest available HiDPI resolution through HDMI is 2560x1440. This is how I use both monitors at the moment.
I'd rather use 3008x1692. Does anybody know a way around this issue? Again, these are 2 identical monitors. Both should have the same resolutions available regardless of the type of connectivity.
Thanks!
