Display Resolution Guide for macOS

Seeing as Apple just released a great monitor-less Mac, in the new M4 Mac Mini1, it makes sense that there’s more external display discussions surrounding Macs. After answering a couple of questions on Reddit here, I thought I’d try to write a guide. Because, if you don’t use a screen made by Apple, things get a bit complicated…

To keep things simple, I'll be talking about regular widescreen aspect ratio, of 16:9. Also, I know that some of the things I'm saying are simplifications. But I still welcome feedback!

To make this as timeless as possible, I won’t discuss specific monitor models. Instead, I’ll do my best to foster understanding, that will help in your research.

Two uses of the term resolution

One way of using it, is when discussing the actual number of pixels a screen has. For instance, a regular 4K screen has 3840 ✕ 2160 pixels. This can be called the physical resolution.

However, look at this image, where I went into settings to set my 4K TV to display as 540p:

Changing the setting, luckily, doesn’t delete a bunch of pixels on my TV. So in this context, it can be useful to think of the resolution more like the size of the rendering. This can be called the logical resolution.

The relationship between the physical and logical resolutions matters

The physical and logical resolution can be the same. But for high-resolution screens, this will usually make things too small. And in this context, the resolutions _4K_ (3840 ✕ 2160) and _1080p_ (1920 ✕ 1080) have a special relationship: The former is exactly 2x the width and 2x the height of the latter. This is why you’ll see people mention 4K being “2x” that of 1080p. But keep in mind: it technically has 4x the number of pixels (since it’s 2x two times).

Let me try to explain why that’s importantmore

Here’s an element on a screen with only 6 ✕ 4 pixels (let’s call it “4p”):

If we swap out this screen with one with 2x the resolution, 12 ✕ 8 (“8p”), we’ll get this:

Without changing the logical resolution, the element became tiny! So let’s have each physical pixel be 4 logical pixels, so the element will look the same:

The 4p screen on the left, and the 8p screen on the right.

OK, they look the same now – but then we haven’t really gained anything by doubling the resolution…

Let’s take advantage of the extra pixels, without changing the logical size, by filling in some pixels to make things nicer:

So now we’re running the 8p screen at 4p logical resolution, but nicer. This can be called 4p HiDPI, and is what Apple refers to when saying their screens are Retina.

The expressions PPI (Pixels Per Inch) and DPI (Dots Per Inch) get used quite interchangeably these days – even though the latter used to only refer to print and ink dots.

I won’t go into why here2 – but having the physical resolution be exactly 2x (so four times the number of pixels) the logical resolution, is the best. Knowing this, we end up with the following, for some common resolutions:

Preferred logical resolution Optimal physical resolution 1080p 4K 1440p 5k 1692p 6k

The 14" MacBook Pro, I’m writing this on, runs its 3024 ✕ 1964 screen with the logical resolution of 1512 ✕ 982 HiDPI. The thing is, what you want is ~220 PPI – no matter the screen size.3

Apple made a choice

The table above applies to both macOS, Windows and Linux. However, Apple has prioritised making the optimal resolution look even nicer, to the detriment of suboptimal resolutions. As screen types vary way more on the other platforms, these have (understandably) prioritised making suboptimal resolutions looking better. This is the source of the confusion surrounding monitor resolutions for macOS – while Windows users just buy a 4K screen at a random size, and get on with their life. Personally, I don’t think any of the platforms have made the wrong choice here, as the realities differ so.

However: Sub-optimal ≠ Trash

It’s not that running a 4K screen with a logical resolution of 1440p will make your eyes bleed. But you’ll might get some of the issues shown here – and running it at 1080p HiDPI will look better.

And just like with hi-refresh screens, some people are simply more picky on things like this than others. It also matters what you’re used to!

Three ways to improve the sub-optimal

Getting something _optimal_ might be prohibitively expensive for many – so I hope my guide towards the optimal doesn't give the impression that this is something everyone has to do. And I want to point at three specific utilities that will lower the gap between the optimal and suboptimal:

BetterDisplay Pro will make macOS play nicer with more resolutions, and also provides more adjustment possibilities.

And DisplayBuddy helps monitor controls feel more native.

If the optimal logical resolution is too "zoomed in" for you, try fixing it with things like accessibility settings, reducing font sizes, etc.

Oh, and both advice 1 and 2 above can be good if you have a monitor that does have the optimal resolution, but is not from Apple!

Two examples

1) Let’s say you want a 4K screen:

As mentioned, the logical resolution of 1080p is the friend of 4K. And in general, I’d say this logical resolution is great for screens ~21 inches.

This image is from my band’s studio, and the screens are 24 inches and 4K, running at 1080p HiDPI. In general, this is a bit too zoomed in for my taste – but as the screens are further away than with most setups, it ends up being pretty perfect.4

By comparison, Apple’s own iMac is 24", and has a 4.5k resolution. If you’re ever in doubt about the optimal resolution for macOS, just check Apple’s products.

What I hope is pretty obvious by now, is that 4K 27-inch screens aren’t optimal for macOS – which is too bad, as these are very common and affordable.

2) Let’s say you want a 27" screen:

A nice logical resolution, for 27", is 1440p. And 2x 1440p is 5k – so that’s what you want for a screen of this size.

“Ugh, but those are rare and expensive. Can’t I just get a 4K screen?”

Well, of course – I’m just saying it’s not optimal. And while it might feel like “it’s only one K less”, 5K has almost twice the number of pixels:

1440p = 2 560 ⋅ 1 440 ≈ 3.7 million pixels

4k = 3 840 ⋅ 2160 ≈ 8.3 million pixels

5k = 5 120 ⋅ 2 880 ≈ 14.7 million pixels

Not quite – but saying "4K is just like 5K" is almost like saying "1440p is just like 4K".

So, let’s sum it up:

Start by figuring out your preferred logical resolution – which will greatly depend on the size of the monitor.

For instance, 1440p.

Figure out which physical resolution you need to get 2x that. (Four times in total.)

If 1440p above, that will be 5k.

Find out how ungodly expensive that solution is, and go for BetterDisplay, DisplayBuddy, and accessibility settings, to compensate for ending up with a suboptimal monitor.

Good luck!

Check out my Mini setup here. ↩︎

I wrote more about it here. ↩︎

And this doesn’t fit too well with the notion of “4K is a good resolution no matter the screen size”, which is quite common. ↩︎

And remember advice 3 above if things are too zoomed in. ↩︎

Apple M4 chip powers new iPad Pro’s groundbreaking design

Apple M4 chip

The new iPad Pro’s innovative design and breathtaking display are made possible by M4, which also offers a massive performance boost.

M4 chip release date

On May 7, 2024, Apple formally unveiled the M4 chip together with the new iPad Pro. Sadly, for the moment, it is limited to the iPad Pro. We’ll probably have to wait until later this year or even early 2025 for Macs and MacBooks.

Apple M4 chip, the newest chip that powers the revolutionary iPad Pro with incredible performance. The M4 system-on-a-chip (SoC), which was created using second-generation 3-nanometer technology, improves Apple silicon’s industry-leading power efficiency and makes the iPad Pro’s extraordinarily thin design possible. In order to power the astounding accuracy, colour, and brightness of the ground-breaking Ultra Retina XDR display on iPad Pro, it also has a completely new display engine.

Up to 10 cores may be found in a new CPU, while the 10-core GPU expands upon the next-generation GPU architecture seen in the M3, introducing hardware-accelerated mesh shading, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and dynamic caching to the iPad for the first time. With a maximum speed of 38 trillion operations per second, the M4 has Apple’s fastest neural engine ever, surpassing the neural processing unit found in any AI PC on the market today.

The next-generation machine learning (ML) accelerators in the CPU, a high-performance GPU, and higher memory bandwidth, together with the Apple M4 chip, make the new iPad Pro an incredibly potent artificial intelligence tool.

“Creating best-in-class custom silicon enables breakthrough products,” stated Johny Srouji, senior vice president of Hardware Technologies at Apple, “and the new iPad Pro with M4″ The iPad Pro’s innovative display and thin design are made possible by the M4’s power-efficient performance and new display engine, while significant upgrades to the CPU, GPU, memory system, and neural engine make the M4 ideally suited for the newest AI-enabled applications. The iPad Pro is now the most powerful gadget of its kind thanks to this latest CPU.

Novel Technologies Activating the Latest iPad Pro

The M4 iPad Pro offers a significant improvement in performance compared to the M2 model. It is composed of 28 billion transistors, which are constructed with a second-generation 3-nanometer technology, hence increasing the power efficiency of Apple silicon. The Ultra Retina XDR display, a cutting-edge display made possible by mixing the light of two OLED panels, has remarkable precision, colour accuracy, and brightness uniformity thanks to an all-new display engine built using cutting-edge technology included in the M4.

A new CPU with ten cores

The new Apple M4 chip features up to 10 cores, with four performance cores and six efficiency cores. With deeper execution engines for efficiency cores and wider decode and execution engines for performance cores, the next-generation cores provide better branch prediction. Additionally, improved, next-generation ML accelerators are a characteristic of both types of cores.

Compared to the potent M2 in the previous iPad Pro, the Apple M4 chip offers up to 1.5 times faster CPU performance. M4 improves performance across professional workflows, whether utilizing Logic Pro to work with intricate orchestral music files or LumaFusion to add challenging effects to 4K video.

GPU Gives the iPad Pro New Features

The next-generation graphics architecture of the M3 family of processors is expanded upon by the new 10-core GPU of the Apple M4 chip. It has Apple’s revolutionary Dynamic Caching, which significantly raises the average GPU utilization by dynamically allocating local memory in real time and hardware. Performance for even the most demanding pro apps and games is greatly improved by this.

iPad hardware-accelerated ray tracing adds lifelike reflections and shadows to games and other visually exciting material for the first time. The GPUs hardware accelerated mesh shading speeds geometry processing and supports more graphically sophisticated scenes in games and graphics-intensive applications. Apple M4 chip significantly improves pro rendering speed, which is now up to four times faster than on M2, in tools such as Octane. The CPU and GPU enhancements in M4 preserve Apple silicon’s industry-best performance per watt. With only half the power, M4 can perform at par with M2. Additionally, the M4 requires only a quarter of the power to achieve the same performance as the newest PC processor in a light and thin laptop.

The fastest neural engine ever found in an IP block specifically designed to accelerate AI workloads is found in the Most Powerful Neural Engine Ever the M4. With a staggering 38 trillion operations per second, or 60 times faster than the first neural engine in the A11 Bionic, this is Apple’s most powerful neural engine ever. The Neural Engine in the Apple M4 chip creates an incredibly potent chip for AI, especially when combined with the high-performance GPU, higher-bandwidth unified memory, and next-generation ML accelerators in the CPU.

Additionally, the new iPad Pro enables users to complete incredible AI tasks quickly and on-device thanks to iPadOS AI features like Live Captions, which provides real-time audio captions, and Visual Look Up, which recognises items in images and videos.

With just a tap, the iPad Pro with Apple M4 chip can tap-freely separate a subject from the background of a 4K film in Final Cut Pro, and by listening to a piano performance in StaffPad, it can automatically write musical notation in real time. Additionally, inference workloads can be completed effectively and discreetly with the least amount of negative effects on battery life, app memory, and app performance. More potent than any neural processing unit found in any AI PC on the market today, the M4’s neural engine is Apple’s most powerful to date.

Cutting-Edge Media Engine for Fluid, Effective Streaming

The most sophisticated Media Engine available for iPad is found in the M4. It not only supports the most widely used video codecs, such as H.264, HEVC, and ProRes, but it also introduces hardware acceleration for AV1 to the iPad a first. This enables streaming services to play back high-definition videos with greater power efficiency.

More Beneficial to the Environment

Apple has high requirements for energy economy, and the all-new iPad Pro meets those standards and offers all-day battery life thanks to the power-efficient performance of Apple M4 chip. As a result, it requires less time to be plugged in and uses less energy overall in its lifetime.

Apple is currently carbon neutral for worldwide corporate operations and expects to be so by 2030 for its manufacturing supply chain and product life cycle.

It's iPad Season Again, and Apple's New Tablets Promise Something Different

While we didn't get a new iPad Mini in today's Apple event (boo), the Cupertino tech giant nevertheless unleashed a new onslaught of portable computing goodness with its new iPad Pro and iPad Air models. Of course as with every new product launch, the new devices come with some significant upgrades in terms of overall performance, as well as changes to design. With that in mind, let's get started! New iPad Air First up is the new iPad Air, which comes in two sizes including an 11-inch and a new 13-inch model. As you can probably tell from the name, the iPad Air is designed to be portable, and comes with a new upgrade thanks to Apple's M2 chipset inside. The company also says that it's equipped the Air with a faster CPU and GPU, as well as a newer 16-core Neural Engine courtesy of the M2 chipset, which should prove to be a boost with the device's AI capabilities. Another change to the iPad Air is the front-facing ultra wide 12MP camera, which is now located horizontally making it more ideal for work calls and even just casual video chats; meanwhile, the rear of the tablet features a 12MP camera which supports 4K video, as well as 240-fps slow motion capture. For connectivity, Apple does offer the iPad Air in both Wifi and cellular models with 5G support for on-the-go connectivity. For pricing, the 11-inch iPad Air still starts at £599, while the 13-inch iPad Air is a bit more expensive coming in at £749. Folks looking to grab the new Air models can order them, with availability beginning on May 15. Going Pro For this year's iPad Pro models, Apple went all-in with performance thanks to the inclusion of the new M4 chip inside. It's a rare sight to see the company introduce a new and powerful SoC in a tablet launch, given that it highlights its M-series chipsets alongside its Mac device launches. With that said, the M4 does make for a very interesting package with the iPad Pro, although there's more to it than just a shiny new chip. CHECK OUT: Apple’s New M4 Chip Finally Makes its Debut Similar to the new iPad Air, the iPad Pro 2024 comes in two sizes at 11 inches and 13 inches, which both feature Apple's "Ultra Retina XDR" display technology, all wrapped in a design which the company claims is the thinnest to date. The company says that the M4 is tailor-made to be able to run the new display technology, providing users with a more immersive and visually-appealing user experience. Of course, this upgrade also extends to productivity - Apple has also launched a new Apple Pencil Pro with the iPad Pro, which packs a ton of tech inside, including support for haptic feedback, gesture controls, and improved usability. There's also a newly-redesigned Magic Keyboard, which is a bit slimmer than before. As with most other hardware manufacturers in the past couple of years, Apple is targeting AI-powered capabilities with the M4 chip - for one, the M4 features Apple's next-generation Neural Engine, which is able to perform an impressive 38 trillion operations per second (60x faster than the original A11 Bionic chip), and can work seamlessly in tandem with the CPU, GPU, and high-bandwidth memory for AI-powered tasks. During its presentation, the company was rather confident that power users after a productivity-focused device will find a lot to love about the iPad Pro, especially with support for apps such as Final Cut Pro, and other powerful video editing software. On the camera side of things, the iPad Pro features a 12MP back camera that comes with vibrant Smart HDR images and video - Apple claims this results in better-looking colours, texture, and even low-light details. There's also a new adaptive True Tone flash that makes document scanning on the new iPad Pro a bit easier, with improved visual quality as well - the camera can identify documents right in the Camera app, and if a shadow is in the way, it takes multiple photos with the adaptive flash, stitching the scan together for a better-looking image. In terms of pricing, the 11-inch iPad Pro starts at £999 for the Wi-Fi model, and £1,199 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular model. Meanwhile, the 13-inch iPad Pro starts at £1,299 for the Wi-Fi model, and £1,499 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular model. Read the full article

Should a 32-inch 4K Mac display really be a non-starter?

Mac display aficionados know that pixel count must scale with screen size to maintain Apple’s standard for “Retina” resolution. That’s why the 24-inch iMac is 4.5K, the 27-inch Studio Display is 5K, and the 32-inch Pro Display XDR is 6K. These resolutions and display sizes each amount to 218 pixels per inch. The result is a balance of sharpness and screen real estate for the price of $1499,…

Revolutionizing Communication: AV Tech in Video Conferencing

With advancements in av design software for mac like Final Cut Pro, communication through video conferencing has revolutionized over the years. Video conferencing allows people to collaborate face-to-face virtually from anywhere in the world. New technologies have made this medium more accessible and effective. In this blog post, we will examine how AV tech developments are enhancing the experience of video conferencing.

Emergence of Group Video Chats

One major development that has increased the usability of video conferencing is the rise of easy-to-use group video chat platforms. Platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Cisco Webex have simplified the process of joining multi-person calls. Users can start or join meetings with just a link or meeting ID, without complicated setup. This has allowed video conferencing to move beyond dedicated conference room systems into everyday work and communication. Platforms also allow for features like screen sharing, virtual backgrounds, and breakout rooms which improve collaboration.

Advancements in Camera Technology

To replicate the natural experience of in-person communication, high-quality video is important for video conferencing. Camera technology plays a big role in delivering clear, life-like images. Modern laptop and conference room cameras now offer HD resolution as a standard which provides much sharper and more detailed video calls compared to earlier low-res webcams. Some higher-end cameras also support 4K resolution for ultra-high definition video.

Enhanced Cameras

Additionally, cameras are incorporating new enhancements beyond just resolution. Many now include features like auto-focus, auto-light adjustment and noise cancellation microphones for always-focused, well-lit images with clear audio pickup. Some have wide-angle lenses for showing more context during calls. Intel's RealSense cameras even add depth-perception for integrating augmented reality elements. With such advanced cameras, remote communication can now feel almost indistinguishable from being together in-person.

Advancements in Display Technology

Another important factor for life-like video conferencing is high-quality displays. Large-screen displays in dedicated huddle rooms and conference rooms improve the shared view for collaboration. Advances in display technology like Ultra HD, Mini LED and Micro LED displays provide exceptional clarity, contrast and true-to-life color reproduction.

Interactive Flat Panels

Interactive flat panels (IFPs) take collaboration a step further by integrating a multi-touch LCD display and a computer. Participants can directly interact with and annotate on the screen content in real-time from their location. Wireless screen sharing allows remote participants to also view and markup content on the IFP during brainstorming sessions. Popular IFP brands include Promethean, SMART and Google Jamboard. When combined with advanced cameras, these large interactive displays can make remote teams feel like they're working together around the same table.

Advancements in Audio Technology

For natural-feeling conversations, high-quality synchronized audio is equally important as video. Leading conference room systems therefore incorporate microphone arrays, acoustic echo cancellation and noise suppression to pick up every speaker clearly.

Voice Recognition

Many systems now integrate artificial intelligence through voice recognition technologies like automated captioning, transcription and language translation. This allows remote international teams to communicate fluidly across language barriers.Voice commands using technologies like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Microsoft Cortana can also control video conference devices hands-free for enhanced accessibility. With such innovations, discussing and sharing ideas can flow as seamlessly online as during in-person whiteboarding sessions.

Impact of 5G and Edge Computing

The next revolution in video conferencing will be enabled by impending 5G networks and edge computing technologies. 5G's ultra-high speeds and low latency will ensure smooth, instantaneous video calls even over multiple data-heavy device connections.

Distributed Meeting Rooms

Edge computing distributes processing to local network points instead of central cloud data centers. This will allow new concepts like distributed meeting rooms where participants in different physical rooms are seamlessly connected using synchronized local edge servers with almost zero latency between sites. The future of work will truly embrace flexible workstyles with such disruption in next-gen network infrastructure and technologies.

Conclusion

In conclusion, advancements across AV, display, audio and network domains have transformed video conferencing into a collaboration powerhouse. Revolutionary features like touch displays, AI, 5G and edge computing will take virtual teamwork even closer to in-person interaction. With continuous innovations, distance will become irrelevant for partnerships across the globe. This will fundamentally change how businesses operate and how people socialize in the coming years.

My Tech Setup

I’ll make separate posts for my software and bass guitar setups, but here’s my current tech hardware setup.

The overview. Details incoming!

MacBook Pro

My Mac is the center of it all — and I’m living the laptop-desktop lyfe.

Now, there are many things I like about living in Norway. And one of them, is that we’ve mandated by law that things like computers needs to have a 5-year warranty(ish). And this also applies to second-hand owners! So buying used Apple gear, is great here — and that’s how I bought my MacBook Pro when it was 10 months old.

It’s a 14-inch M1 Pro base model, with 512 GB of storage and 16 GB of RAM.

I do have to be mindful of the storage, and occasionally, I push the RAM. But it still works tremendously. I’ve never been this happy with a computer before.

Did you notice the Macbook in the previous image?

Apple Studio Display

Yes, it’s too expensive — but no, it’s not the same as just having a 4k screen. **And look at everything that happens when I connect one Thunderbolt cable to my Mac! **👇🏻

Power to the Mac

Power to the Xiaomi Mi Monitor Light 🖇️ (Website)

Laneware Macro-1

Laneware LW-67 keyboard

Both with Less but better keycaps and

Boba U4 switches (U4Ts in the large buttons).

Lightning cable for the Apple Magic Trackpad

Universal Audio Volt 2 🖇️ (Website)

PreSonus Eris E3.5 🖇️ (Website)

Grado SR125 (I don’t have X, though) 🖇️ (Website)

Røde NT-USB Mini 🖇️ (Website)

I just love that I can unplug one cable, and just take my laptop home with me.

When I had this at my home office, I also connected ethernet to the spare port, a mouse in the USB-A hub, and some more stuff.

I've tilted the trackpad (and its wrist rest), to improve the ergonomics. I should probably get a split keyboard as well...

Makes it easier to connect both my headphones and speakers to the Mac, and I also use it for bass rehearsel and recording, and for testing pedal boards. Fastened with Dual Lock.

The mic and monitors are fine - nothing more, nothing less. But very practical!

These sound great! Especially with Crinacle's EQ preset set through . Tons of leakage, though.

Desk accessories

The wool desk mat was custom ordered (to me previous, tiny, desk) from this Etsy store. The, equally custom, wrist rests are from this Etsy store.

I almost never need a wallet - so Apple's MagSafe wallet is perfect. The Moleskin notebook is just as under used.

The iPad and headphones stand is IKEA’s (very cheap) Havrehoj. I like it a lot!

iPad

I have the iPad Pro 11-inch from 2018 (the first with the flat sides), with LTE and 256 GB of storage. I also bought this used — in 2019, and it still works well (even though I’m starting to notice that it’s 5.5 years old, with the occasional slowdown). I’m one of those who loves having LTE — as it’s so nice to never having to worry about internet connection. I also used it as my «whiteboard» when I was a teacher — and could just switch to LTE if the school’s network was struggling. 1

I also have the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard, which I like.

iPhone

Not in the first image, as it took it.

I’m a noted Mini iPhone enjoyer, and my iPhone 13 Mini (in Midnight) has worked perfectly since the day I got it. It fixed all the issues of the 12 Mini, and is a top-tier iPhone IMO.

Here are some things I’ll say ’til the day I die (and will fight everyone who disagrees with 💪🏻):

The ordinary (potential) Mini buyer is on a long update cycle, and has also bought SE phones. So when the SE got updated half a year before the 12 Mini’s release, many of those had recently bought a phone — and this hurt the sales.

The 15 Plus phone also «flopped», but doesn’t get nearly the same amount of flak!

The lineup with the 13 Mini, 13, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max was the perfect lineup. Apple should be able to include a mini phone in their trillion dollar pipeline anyway. I don’t have particularly small hands (I just like to be able to use my phone one-handed), but many people do and should be well-served as well.

Here’s to hoping the next SE is a Mini. 🤞🏻 (But I doubt it. And, my next phone is probably a Pro for the cameras anyway…)

I also have the first gen AirPods Pro. I really like them, but I’ve had some troubles with them, and had to return them a couple of times. Luckily, there’s the whole government mandated warranty — so even though I bought them in 2019, I got brand-new ones (for free) as late as the fall of 2023. 🙌🏻

No, it’s far from as nice to just share from your phone. ↩︎
