I suffered more about having to trash my perfectly fine fullhd monitor(s) that worked great with linux until the day before, just because they decided to drop subpixel hinting with latest macos versions. Now I need 5-6 times more pixels to get comparable font rendering


I’m also still mourning the loss of subpixel AA with my primary display being 4k@1x. For several versions of macOS it was removed from the System Preferences UI but still available with a defaults command, but I’m pretty sure that’s gone now too.


right, you're not even supposed to use those 4k at native resolution if you want good fonts! some sources still list a couple of manual commands that supposedly enable antialiasing again but I don't think they do anything anymore.


It’s 43” haha. It has roughly the same pixel density as a 27” at 2560x1440.


32” 4k on a m1 mini at a scaled resolution of 2560x1440 looks great.


I’d imagine that scaling feeling a bit large for many on HN, that’s the resolution Apple ships at 27”. But if you like it that’s great!
