Change text size to fit screen resolution (MacBook Air 2022)

I use a MacBook Air 2022 with an M2 processor and a screen diagonal of 13.6". I want to change the screen resolution from 1710x1112 to 2560x1164, but there is a problem that the text becomes unreadable (too small). How can I solve the problem with the text in order to use this screen resolution on this laptop ?

MacBook Air, macOS 14.0

iMac screen resolution Greetings, Is there a way to "fine tune" the screen resolution on my iMac 27inch 2020 Ventura 13.3.1? my only choices seem to be Larger text, Default and More Space with one increment in-between each. Much like Goldilocks, one is too big and the next is too small. Thank you in advance David

Screen resolution Hello everyone .After the new update on my MacBook Air m2 ,I saw that the screen resolution is set to default ,but the default one is 1470x956 and not like Apple advertised 2560x1664 .Is this normal and will it affect the quality of the image if I play a video like 1440p ?Is there an option to go to the max resolution without loosing the visual of the display(I have tried to go there from the settings ),but the text on the got smaller)

In macOS 13 (Ventura), how do you select a specific screen resolution now? The Displays settings panel was redesigned to show "Larger Text" to "More Space" options in a previous macOS release but you could still hold down the option key, select "Scaled Resolutions" (or whatever it was labelled) and get to see and select from available resolutions (1920x1080, etc.) I don't see how to do that now with Ventura macOS 13. And it's a problem because the provided options ("larger text" to "more space") don't let you get to the native resolution for some displays, like mine: an LG ultrawide display whose native resolution is 3840x1600. So how do I select that resolution now with Ventura (or any other specific resolution)?

You may need to settle for one of the display options in Sonoma 14.1.1 — System Settings : Displays:

I'm talking about the small text size when choosing a screen resolution of 2560x1664, I attach screenshots

And the text size at 1710x1112
