    trust me, there is nothing that will replicate betterdisplaypro. Try creating a 9:16 vertical virtual display at 1440p LoDPI for using via parsec on your 2nd monitor with literally any other solution. Not to mention straight from the menu bar UI.

    I loooove this software. I'm here to post how good BetterDisplay is, to repay them. Better than the competitor (? which). Worked with my Intel Mac and with works with my M4 Mac with a 43" Samsung 70NC. The monitor has the perfect dpi for Apple and is 16:9 so you get more room for cheaper than those wide but shallow monitors.

What is BetterDisplay?

BetterDisplay is a truly wonderful tool! It lets you convert your displays to fully scalable screens, manage display configuration overrides, allows brightness and color control, provides XDR/HDR brightness upscaling (extra brightness beyond 100% for compatible displays with Apple Silicon Macs), full dimming to black, helps you create and manage virtual screens for your Mac, create Picture in Picture windows of your displays and gives you a host of other features to manage your display's settings easily from the menu bar. It can even disconnect/reconnect displays on-the-fly!
