RDM VS one-key-hidpi

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

RDM can change monitor icons!

RDM is free alternative to SwichResX which should do what you want: https://github.com/usr-sse2/RDM

Either this or that.

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.

You need to download an app called RDM from https://github.com/usr-sse2/RDM/releases/tag/2.5.0

Here's another option I found that works as well: https://github.com/usr-sse2/RDM/releases

apparently there's this fork which (stated) support the m1 chip with custom res built in

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)

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.

I used this https://github.com/xzhih/one-key-hidpi to enable display scaling than just the lowering resolution to get larger text and other elements.

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.

I see you have a HiDPi screen you can change that with this to make it a 3:2 (like a Retina display) but its your choice
