Hi,
after upgrading to Ventura 13.1 my external display (Dell U49) has only default resolution with retina support (HiDPI). Everything looks small. It also doesn't have any scaling options.
how can I fix it?
P.S. before upgrade it has 3360:944 (HiDPI) option.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.1
As far as I'm aware they do know about the problem. I talked to german support via phone (in december) and he said that he already knows about this and that they are already working on a fix. But who knows when and if they will ever fix this.
I was able to fix this issue for my 5120x1440 monitor with Better Display (https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay): I had to hit these buttons under settings and after a reboot I had all the HiDPI resolutions I ever wanted... not in system settings though but in the Better Display menu. But once set you don't need to run Better Display in the background and it looks like it doesn't have any overhead like Better Dummy. Currently working on 4096x1152 which is the equivalent to Windows 125% scaling. Even on a 110dpi screen this looks great and from a performance standpoint runs perfectly well on my 2019 MacBook Pro with two external monitors attached. I really don't get it why apple doesn't enable these options by default.
I hope they address this SOON! They need to bring this resolution scale setting back.
That is way too hacky. Apple should fix this instead of the third party hacky trick.
the one who advised you to reinstall must be fired from his support position
I'm having the same issue. Apple, please fix this ASAP ...
seeing more articles like this....

It could well be that Apple is not even aware of this problem. From what I hear, Apple developers and support staff do not read these communty pages ...
Is this issue fixed in 13.2 ?
Unfortunately it seems not, I tried updating to 13.2 as well before I found the solution I wrote above.
It seems this doesn't fix it for a Dell U3818DW ... :-(
No it is not. alessiozaccaria's fix above worked for me however.
Thank you very much for posting this resolution (pun intended). This has been driving me nuts since I upgraded to Ventura.
Did anyone every get a solution to this??
I do not think so, Apple is a joke! even safari doesn't work with a lot of websites while other web browsers works with no issues, Apple let me down!
and what apple forum admins again censoring and deleting the post deleting the truth trying to defend themselfs what I can say this forum is useless no word freedom worse then North Korea
HiDPI are enabled only the max allowed HiDPI is half of default resolution what makes all things on the screen way too big and unusable, we need scaling option to be able to increase text size
after upgrading to Ventura 13.1 external display resolution menu has only default resolution (too small) and low resolution options
