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
