HiDPI for 5120x1440 on M4/M4 Pro

[Lojyk]

Is there any difference between the M4 and M4 Pro in terms of HiDPI support? I'll be trying to get HiDPI for 5120x1440.

It seems they both cap at 8K so wouldn't be able to do HiDPI on an ultrawide or super ultrawide but then the M4 Pro has Thunderbolt 5 so not sure if that makes any difference.

Probably there is no difference. However I had no chance to try an M4 mac yet. :)

I have an m1 max and I have the same problem of 5120x1440 LoDPI on a 57-inch Samsung Neo G9, now that the m4 is out, do you know if you can already use HiDPI 5120x1440 or higher? I know that since the m3 HDMI 2.1 is already accepted, I don't know which MacBook I should migrate to or if I should wait longer, I'll leave this comment for future updates!

So there is no way of making 5120x1440 HiDPI with an M1 Pro / M1 Max? Is it a Mac limitation of a Better Display limitation?

So this means both M4 and M4 Pro support HiDPI, or neither support it?

I have the same problem with M4 Pro and C49RG9x

My 5120X1440 120Hz looks blurry. I tried with 8K 60Hz DP 1.4 cable without success.

I still don't understand how in 2024 we can have these problems.

I have a Windows 11 connected to the same monitor and it looks good

Same here, M1 Pro, HDMI 2.1 premium cable supporting 8K on HDMI 2.1 port, Samsung Odyssey 49" OLED

Also purchased Better Display pro license, no avail.

My solution has been to return the mac mini to the store

That is indeed a kind of solution to this problem. 🤣
