Q: iMac 5K GUI Scaling for External 4K Monitor?
Hi all,
I recently bought an inexpensive refurb 4K monitor to serve as extra workspace for my iMac Retina 5K. I was disappointed in the monitor in general, so I returned it, but while testing it I found it difficult to see/read the GUI and text on the 4K screen. After doing a bit more research I've found that there is a technology called "scaling" that will change the display parameters such that the GUI and text will appear larger while images still take advantage of the full resolution.
How can I tell if my iMac supports scaling?
Is there a list of recommended 4K monitors which the iMac works well with (scaling, recall of window position/size)?
Thanks,
Chris
