Hi guys
From system preferences, I've lowered my macbook air m1 resolution to increase the UI size of system elements, because they appear too small on a 13 inch display, but I am noticing that the overall image quality is lower than the higher resolution settings. Why? For example, If I do this on Windows OS or Linux OS, I would have an option to change just the DPI scale of the system UI elements, and that would not affect image quality.
Is there any solution to just change the DPI and not the Resolution quality? ^-^
 
If you’re using the predetermined display settings (e.g. more space, less space) then I wouldn’t think this to be an issue. However, the bigger you make something the more pixels will be visible so depending on the overall display quality it could be blurry or pixelated.
