Did something happen with Sequoia and sub-pixel font smoothing? For whatever reason my 1x display looks pretty good lately and doesn't want to make me toss it in the garbage.

@paul I have a 4K side by side with a Full HD one, both 27 inches, and the Full HD is now good enough. I'm noticing something too but I'm not able to point to something specific.

@paul Same here, with a pair of c2009 27” cinema displays.

@paul something something check your glasses 🤣

@paul You know what (and I don't think I am imagining this because you just asked), my Philips quad HD display does look a lot sharper for text and graphics now.

@paul Something must have changed, not only does text look sharper, but the menu item icons are sharper as well.

@paul ok, you just gave me a reason to finally update my Mac. Was holding out, but if they indeed improved the antialiasing at 1x I might finally bite the bullet 😁👍🏻

@paul I’m curious whether you connect with HDMI or DisplayPort. I’ve LONG noticed that Apple seems to generally treat HDMI output as optimized for video instead of computer display. Maybe that’s what changed.

@paul So much for that theory. Well, looking forward to when I can upgrade at work and someday get off the nonretina monitor at home.

@paul Not only that, they also improved the support for waking up and sleeping external tv monitors (lg oled) for me on m4 (m2 didn’t see any improvements). It is also faster and consistent at seeing connections and disconnections.

@mikhailt I've been meaning to try out my M4 mini on my LG OLED, but keep forgetting.

@paul weird bc I was looking at text in Excel.app earlier and thought it was garbage
