Publikováno , autor:

BetterDisplay is a truly wonderful tool! It lets you convert your displays to fully scalable screens, manage display configuration overrides, allows brightness and color control, provides XDR/HDR brightness upscaling (extra brightness beyond 100% for compatible XDR or HDR displays on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs – multiple methods available), full dimming to black, helps you create and manage virtual screens for your Mac, create Picture in Picture windows of your displays and gives you a host of other features to manage your display’s settings easily from the menu bar. It can even disconnect/reconnect displays on-the-fly!

Key Features

  • NEW: Full support for macOS Sequoia.
  • Reach the full brightness potential of your XDR or HDR display – XDR brightness upscale to 1600 nits, external HDR display brightness upscale depending on the display’s capability. Native XDR, color table (Apple Silicon) and Metal (Apple Silicon and Intel) methods are all supported. *
  • Native brightness upscaling for Apple XDR displays (built-in) – provides full unlock for the entire brightness range with no strings attached – no clipped or overblown HDR videos, full native sliders compatibility, no extra CPU/GPU usage. *
  • Display group and synchronization features – sync brightness and other image controls among multiple displays!
  • Display UI scale matching – synchronize display UI scale / resolution among multiple displays (recommended for displays with flexible scaling enabled). *
  • Layout protection – create and protect an adaptive display arrangement using anchor points for natural traversal among screens. *
  • Change the display’s brightness, volume and colors via software and hardware (DDC) control using sliders, native or custom keyboard shortcuts!
  • BetterDisplay is the only app currently with DDC control for all modern Macs (full DDC support for all Apple Silicon Macs including the M1 built-in HDMI ports, and 2018 mini built-in HDMI port).
  • Change display inputs using DDC on supported displays.
  • Option to auto-disconnect built-in screen upon connecting an external display – requires Apple Silicon (note: Settings/Displays/Overview/Connection management settings…). *
  • Convert your internal and natively connected external displays to flexible-scaled HiDPI displays using flexbile scaling (displays with notch, HDR, HDCP, high refresh rate are all supported)! *
  • Change the resolution easily with a slider!
  • Quickly accessible refresh rate and screen rotation menu.
  • Better quality zooming (System Preferences»Accessibility»Zoom) or High Quality screenshots even on 1080p displays.
  • Define favorite resolutions and reach them using the app menu, resolution slider or keyboard shortcuts. *
  • Create custom HiDPI resolutions for real displays manually. Redefine various system display parameters!
  • Disconnect and reconnect displays (removing them from the display layout and adding them back) on Apple Silicon (macOS Ventura or newer required) and Intel (all macOS version supported – on Intel the feature is considered experimental and can cause issues)! *
  • Protect display configuration (resolution, refresh rate/VRR, rotation, color profile). *
  • Color profile (and XDR Preset) selector.
  • Auto switch color profile for SDR and HDR modes. *
  • EDID override support for both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs! *
  • Export display EDID and show detailed display information (Intel and Apple Silicon).
  • Create any number of virtual screens with varying aspect ratios and resolutions.
  • Use headless Macs (servers) with any resolution and HiDPI mode for remote access.
  • Scaled Sidecar resolutions and portrait SideCar support (via virtual screen streaming). *
  • Use your iPad or monitor as a DIY Teleprompter. *
  • Enable Night Shift for your TV.
  • Help width display flickering (PWM, temporal dithering).
  • Create Picture in Picture window for any real display or virtual screen. *
  • Redirect your display’s contents (real or virtual) to another screen with local streaming. *
