Resolution scaling option for external display disappeared with update Hi, I have always been using my external 4K Dell monitor with my M2 Macbook Air. Before the update to Ventura, I could scale the appearance on the screen since everything is tiny on a 24" 4K monitor, but since the update the option for scaling has disappeared and the only way to change the size of the UI is to change the resolution, which renders the image unsharp. Any workarounds or solutions? Thanks. Jonatan

This is the LG webpage

https://w https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMUB2LL/A/lg-ultra

It mentions 10 bits

How about this webpage

https://www.am https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMUB2LL/A/lg-ultrafine-5k-display

It also mentions 10 bits

This web page

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMUB2LL/A/lg-ultrafine-5k-display

says "Color Gamut: P3 wide color gamut"

And everything I can Google about that says lots of colors, but no bit depth.

I cannot tell you anything more than that, as I had to do some googling to just get this

According to the webpage the laptop's display can support millions of colors. No specifics for the external one. I am willing to settle for 4k @ 10 bits instead of 6k @ 8 bits.
