Monitor suggestions?

The extra couple of inches might be a nice addition. Also, I'll check out BetterDisplay. Sounds like a very useful app. Thanks for the tips!

Sure thing. Please do note that the 34" model is an UltraWide, with all of the same downsides I cited with my old one. So for me I'd still stick with the 32".

Here's another option with a pair of 32" screens and a 24"(all at 1920x1080). I also like symmetry

Thanks for pointing that out.

Using this app, I am able to scale the display to a useful resolution for me (3200 x 1800), everything is crisp, clear, and I can even keep NightShift on (I prefer a slightly warmer color balance). It has a menu bar app, which you can quickly use to tweak things, including brightness

I had the same experience. Recent MacOS versions have made non-Apple displays hard to work with. Better Display gives you the options Apple won't.

Maybe it's time to add this feature to Pro Tools as well, so that Windows users can utilize it with their UHD monitors without having to adjust their systems to 1080p. As I've mentioned, this can be nicely configured in Reaper DAW.

Hey Kerry,

Very cool app, thanks for sharing!

Quick question: I have a Samsung Thunderbolt 3 display (LF32TU874VNXGO) and I can't connect it to my M1 iMac through HDMI or DisplayPort (with an adapter), as I want to free up the display's Thunderbolt 3 connection for an extra external SSD drive. Nothing works, proper cables and adapters, spent $150 on them for no reason it seems hehe. (Thunderbolt 3 works perfectly of course, no issue there).

Is there a feature in BetterDisplay that maybe helps to connect non-Apple displays through HDMI or DisplayPort, other than Thunderbolt 3 basically to M1/2/3 Macs? I was wondering if you know if this can be done with BetterDisplay!

Thanks again_

To the OP, this is a lovely display by the way and cheap, bought it for $299 from Micro Center about a year ago but I think this model is discontinued now? Would be a good deal used as well and like I said Thunderbolt 3 works perfectly with this display on M1 Macs. HDMI and DisplayPort? Not so much.
