Apple mac mini M1 based bad scaling in 3440x1440 resolution.

Hi is there any upcoming fix maybe in an OS update for the bad font scaling in 3440x1440 resolutions?

I use a nice ultrawide @120hz. I it's a joy to use in windows 10. Font looks sharp. Just like 1440p (sweetspot imo at 27 inch)

My problem is that the text looks horrible when i connect it to my mac mini. Using USB-c to display port.

120hz works fine.

You can easily spot the scaling is off. And i already tried the disable font sharpening in mac os.

Such a shame i can't have it look ok.

The mac mini looks fine in 1080p or 4k. On my other screens.

So i am sure it's mac os problem with scaling to ultra wide resolutions.

Surely i am not the only one that uses 3440x1440 to increase my workflow?
