This combination is a good choice for my eyes, so I don’t want to shift right now to a 4K monitor or whatever else. It’s a 2K gaming monitor with 2560x1440 resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. I didn’t have a choice which model of the monitor to buy because I have one. MacBook Air display area is not big enough for such activities. The quality of text rendering and the physical size of the text area are essential quality metrics of my workplace. As a developer, I have to work with a long bunch of text in different programming languages. But I am a software developer, and the time has come to start developing using this MacBook. It’s a good enough tool for working as it is. Here, I have two external displays connected to my laptop (whose internal display is turned off and is not showing).I’ve got Apple Silicon M1 MacBook Air, and I am pretty happy to use it without an external monitor. Select your display in the left pane and click the Custom Resolutions tab. In a Terminal window type: csrutil enableĭone. In the menu bar, go to Utilities -> Terminal to open a shell, and type:Īfter you’re done playing with SwitchResX, reboot the Mac and Cmd+R again.Release the keys and let it finish the boot process. Restart your Mac, holding Cmd+R until you see the Apple logo.The one thing to remember, is to turn SIP back on, after you’ve finished creating your resolution. Disabling SIPĭon’t ask me why we have to disable a system security feature to tweak our displays, but that’s how it is. Or, like me, if you’re bad with numbers use a resolution scale calculator to be on the safe side and get a list of compatible resolutions for your screen, based on its default resolution. Google you model if you’re not sure what it is. It’s 16:10, in my case, many displays are 16:9. Unless you want to see things distorted on your screen, your new resolution must use the same ratio as your display. But I know Active Horizontal, Active Vertical and Scan rate (the one defined in Hz, the rightmost at the bottom of the screen, not the one in KHz next to it) are the values to keep in mind. I have no idea what all these values mean. In the left pane, select your display and click the Current Resolutions tab. I repeat: you must not use settings over what your display is physically capable of, or things will go wrong, and getting them back in order is no fun if you don’t have a second screen.Īfter installing SwitchResX, go to System Preferences->SwitchResX. #SWITCHRESX M1 INSTALL#You need to install SwitchResX before you can do anything. Do not forget to turn it back on after you’ve created your custom resolution(s).
