DisableMonitor VS Hot

DisableMonitor (free) - lets you apply a custom resolution to your internal or external monitors (e.g. 1920x1080) Available on GitHub

I'm wondering if the same is possible on an M1 machine—through a tool like DisableMonitor, can you force 8k resolutions on an M1? Or, if not, does selecting 4k run it truly at 4k (e.g. 1:1 rendering for blurrier visuals on the pro display), or does it render at 8k and downscale?

I use Screen Sharing to have my Macbook screen show on my iMac. Works flawless over Gigabit, except that cmd-tab sometimes lags. There are tools available[0] that allow you to set a higher resolution for a screen than what would be sensibly supported by the LCD panel. Although it doesn't do retina this way.

iMacs are sensitive and unusable if the room/environment temperature goes up 1-2 degrees. Once an iMac reaches temperatures that exceed its cooling capabilities, it will reduce the Scheduler Limit. This OS protection slows your computer down to a % of its actual performance. It's designed to reduce load down to a level that the computer can cope with, given its temperature situation. A tool called Hot will reveal the current scheduler limit, and you'll be able to verify this is the problem.

I'm using Hot: https://github.com/macmade/Hot

Use https://github.com/macmade/Hot to read temps instead. I don’t trust cleanmymac.

The Hot . app is great for showing how hot or cold my laptop is running, and whether it has throttled.

You can use the tool "Hot" (https://github.com/macmade/Hot) to check if we are investigating in the right direction.
