It’s 4K, supports the P3 color space, and has the inputs I need for my (realtively) basic needs. I’m using the LG 27” IPS 4K UHD Monitor (model #: 27UP600-W.AUS) which cost me about $399 and technically falls outside of Casey’s criteria, but I think works wonderfully.

macOS 10.14 Mojave Removes Subpixel Anti-aliasing.

So we decided to chat with him so he can tell us more about his project, where he thinks Apple could improve, and why Intel-based Macs are more flexible when it comes to supporting non-Apple monitors, among other things. Nobody can explain it better than the guy behind the code.

It lets you trick macOS by mirroring the contents of a fake 5K display of the right aspect ratio onto your actual 1440p screen.

Before Retina was a thing, Casey and I could choose from a variety QHD displays.

While I’d also love to see Apple release a not ridiculously expensive but still very expensive monitor, I don’t think that addresses the problem. For my money, the completely embarrasing monitor situation Over the last year or two, Apple has been doing a phenomenal job of filling the holes The LG still seems to have problems, and the Apple Pro Display XDR costs $6,000.
