Anyone has the same problem or any suggestions?Ĭlick to expand.The answer is probably a little more nuanced than a simple 1:1 or 2:1 either/or for proper rendering. So my issue looks like related to M1 architecture not Big Sur. I found some tips on Reddit and GitHub to override PropertyList file for a specific display on Big Sur but they also didn't solve the problem.
#Switchresx m1 hidpi manual
On all my previous Macs I used to apply these manual settings on any external monitor and never had any issues. But M1 Mac mini won't recognize these forced HiDPI settings whatever I tried. I executed DisplayResolutionEnabled command on Terminal and tried to force HiDPI settings for it which previously on my Intel Macs it was easy to adjust any screen's DPI value to my liking through Display Settings (holding shift key while choosing scaled resolutions) or using RDM. But 2K monitor doesn't have native HiDPI support on M1 Mac mini. They're very crisp and sharp screens, with very high PPIs.ġ5.6" 4K monitor through USB-C (mounted horizontally if it matters)ġ2.5" 2K monitor (mounted vertically if it matters)ĤK monitor supports native HiDPI even on M1 Mac Mini and it's easy to adjust its DPI to please my eyes through Display Settings or RDM menu bar tool. They both support HDMI&Type-C inputs and I can swap connections without any issues. Only problem is with forced HiDPI settings for one of my monitors which I never had any issues on my previous setup. Pretty good so far, without any hardware issues.
I recently upgraded my desktop setup to a new M1 Mac mini.
