![]() ![]() There are also other reasons for these display issues with Apple Silicon M1 and M2 which are complex but are basically because Apple Silicon chips are based on ARM architecture compared to the older Intel Macs which are based on what’s called x86.ĪRM based Macs use different graphics drivers to Intel Macs which don’t play well with anything other than Apple products such as Apple’s own displays, iPads and iPhones. On those external displays that don’t support 218 ppi, even those with stunning 5K 5120 x 2160 resolution, the image may still appear blurry or difficult to read particularly on ultra-wide displays such as the 5K LG UltraFine monitor. The only non Apple monitor that can support 218 ppi is the 27 inch LG UltraFine which is by far the best alternative to the Apple Studio Display. The reason why the image on external monitors connected to MacBooks sometimes looks so bad is basically because external displays can’t support the Retina high pixel density mode (HiDPI) of a Mac which is 218 pixels per inch (ppi).Īpple’s own Apple Pro Display XDR (which supports a stunning 6K and 1600 nits of brightness) and Apple Studio Display can support HiDPI but they don’t come cheap at $5,000 and $1,599 respectively. The result is text and web page elements that look either too small or blurry magnified images on your external display. On many non Apple displays with 1080p, 1440p, 4K and 5K resolutions, Macs do not scale them well. Why External Monitors Look Blurry On M1, M2 & Retina Macs ![]()
