Im thinking to buy the mac mini m4 and connect it to my asus monitor. https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/monitors/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-vg289q1a/techspec/ Since i have never had a mac, i borrowed a macbook from a friend to check the os,so i connected it to the monitor. However, in 4k resolution, everything looks tiny in the UI. Searching the web i saw that i should have some scaled option however i didnt see it. enter image description here Changing to 2k everything seems big and little blurry. It is currently connected using a hdmi->hub->type c to the macbook. I tried it with opened lid. Anything that might solve it? Also, can i somehow make sure it will work good with the mac mini m4? Thank you **Update:** So I think that I understood little more about the scaling thing. However, I still dont get something. According to a YouTube video I saw, if I go to system information it should show the monitor resolution + UI looks like (image from the video): enter image description here However, in my case its always the same in both. if i choose 2k both resolution and UI looks like = 2k and same goes for 4k. why? enter image description here
