Time to Upgrade Your Monitor
> the 4K monitors the author recommends are not good for macOS due to them not supporting native retina scaling above 1080p
Is this true even with the help of 3rd party apps?
My 3840x1600 ultrawide has that problem using the native screen resolution tools but I can get it to full-res HiDPI using BetterDisplay [0].

Ideal Monitor Rotation for Programmers
It isn't a device, it's a software tool. It doesn't make the monitor magically 2x the resolution; it can trick macos to render onto a 5k buffer and then downscale the output to the physical display so it looks not-broken.
https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay
I'm not saying that it'll make 4k look good. I'm saying macOS is unusable on native resolutions - everything is either too small or too blurry, so a 4k display won't do me any good. 25x14 is the sweet spot for me, but I guess Apple decided I'm holding it wrong.

An absolute must-have if you're using your Uperfect lapdock with a Mac!
So I installed the Better Display 2 app [link] , enabled HiDPI 1280x720, and suddenly everything looked both extremely sharp and in a good size. Judging by the size of the screenshot, it mimics Retina 2560 × 1440 and scales it down 2x to 1280x720, making it HiDPI. I can totally recommend you to do as I did.

MacOS Sonoma on Ryzen 7 7700X and RX 6800
Got MacOS already on my old PC but upgraded and had to install from scratch. After some problems it's now working flawlessly. Even my 1440p 165Hz Monitor works great (Had to use this: https://github.com/xzhih/one-key-hidpi/blob/master/README.md to get proper scaling)
- The anticipation is killing me…

Help everything on my computer is super small after I updated it.
You probably have a machine with a Retina display but it doesn’t see it as such. You could try this script and see if it fixes it. If not you’ll have to reinstall your OS.

[HELP] Graphic Glitch When Restarting (only when already log on)
Solved: The issue was the operation system, due to use of a tool called One Key Hidpi, the system would glitch when restarting. I came to this conclusion because the problem didn't happen when you were not logged.
