Buying an external display
Maybe there's some trickery to get some better results.. https://github.com/bbhardin/A-Guide-to-MacOS-Scaled-Resolutions
- Is there no way to increase the scaling on a Mac without decreasing the resolution?

Apple can only do this because they control their own hardware and have their fancy retina displays. Apple straight up does not support fractional scaling on displays they don't consider "retina". Retina displays are all 220 DPI or more, which is massive compared to many lower-cost non-Apple devices that do still need fractional scaling. Linux and Windows are not in this position.

Samsung m7 monitor all resolutions are blurry after updating to ventura 13.1
I don't know why this has happened to you, but you can use RDM to add any wanted scaled resolution as HiDPI (retina quality) https://github.com/usr-sse2/RDM/releases

It's really shitty of them to not expose this to the user directly through system preferences but you can specify custom resolutions (with "retina") using /Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides/ and an undocumented binary format. https://github.com/usr-sse2/RDM does that for you thankfully.

Just updated my late 2012 Mini to Monterey 12.1. Everything is fine except the Graphics (I have an Intel 4000 HD one). There is some distortion around the edges. Any idea what to do?
You need to download an app called RDM from https://github.com/usr-sse2/RDM/releases/tag/2.5.0
