Have you tried SwitchResX? It can often enable resolutions on monitors that Apple won't let you access by default.


That was suggested in some of the forum threads I read. It doesn’t solve the problem though. It just scales the image up and provides the same quality I have now. There were also some suggested profile hacks which I think is what SwitchResX does.

You can also option-click on the scaled options in display manager and get more options but none of those are reasonable either.

The whole reason I use Macs is because I don’t have to constantly hack and fiddle with them. At that point I may as well install a Linux or BSD.

The software quality from Apple was never great but it is really falling off a cliff recently. It’s getting to a point I wonder why I pay the premium.
