Please stop apologizing for Apple's customer-hostile behaviour here. A $2 trillion company should be able to make an external monitor not look like blurry trash when connected to their hardware.
The fact that it takes someone to make a third-party app to fix what Apple can't speaks volumes to how much they care about/understand their customer base. Apple should have tested M1 hardware with hot garbage external monitors, realized the customer experience sucked, and fixed it.
- nickpp 5y agoDon't know about Apple, but maybe those external monitors shouldn't be such "hot garbage"?!
- kogepathic 5y agoNot all external monitors are "hot garbage" and it was probably my mistake to use that term. Apple could always choose to add some "innovation" to the external monitor market by manufacturing their own line of displays. [1] For example, they have a nice 4.5K display in the iMac, but they won't sell it as a monitor for some reason. Instead, they offer exactly one external monitor that starts at $4999 USD.

- nickpp 5y agoOh, from my PoV all those 4K displays are hot garbage. It'd be quite nice if Apple would upend the external monitor market but usually they prefer serving their own market instead. And as an Apple user today you are quite spoiled indeed...
