About:
BetterDisplay is a comprehensive display management tool for macOS that enables full control over monitor settings. It allows users to create and manage scaled resolutions, adjust brightness, and implement XDR/HDR brightness boosting on supported displays. The tool provides advanced features like color adjustments, refresh rate control, and seamless integration with native macOS display settings.
Key Features:
  • Custom scaled resolutions beyond native macOS limits
  • XDR/HDR brightness boosting for enhanced display brightness
  • Advanced brightness and color control for external monitors
  • Picture-by-picture (PBP) and picture-in-picture (PIP) support
  • Menu bar app with quick access to display presets
Use Cases:
  • Developers needing more resolution options for different workflows
  • Users wanting to boost brightness on XDR/HDR displays beyond default limits
  • Multi-monitor setups requiring consistent brightness and color management
Alternatives:
  • DisplayLink Manager – Focuses on USB display adapters rather than native display control
  • Lunar – Primarily focused on brightness control, lacks advanced resolution management
