  • displayplacer

    macOS command line utility to configure multi-display resolutions and arrangements. Essentially XRandR for macOS.

  • It makes no sense that enabling HiDPI on a 1440p monitor results in worse performance, so this definitely sounds like a bug.

    If you like adjusting your monitor resolution, checkout this display [0]. It lets you set all sorts of resolutions not available in the macOS GUI.
