Everything was perfect after a quick change to a 1920 x 1080 resolution.

That really grates. This person is supposed to be a technology journalist? And they've never heard of changing the font size?

What do you expect from a person who cannot install an OS (or at least does not consider it)?

Afaik this is the normal way of doingโ€™s it on a Mac.

Came here to say this. The display has a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels. And this โ€œjournalistโ€ tells me, that it looks good with a configured resolution of 1920 x 1080. Tells a lot about the quality of this review.

As far as the display, it's beautiful.

Coming from someone who sees no problem in downscaling by 2.5 the resolution instead of changing dpi, this means absolutely nothing.

[โ€“] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Actually, the ratio is 5/3 for the vertical axis and 3/2 for the horizontal one. Yes, the pixel count decreased by 2.5x but scaling factors are expressed in linear terms, not quadratic. Not to mention, ASPECT RATIO DISTORTION of 9/10 (-10%).

[โ€“] Jrockwar@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

Scaling factors for resolution are over the number of pixels, 4k isn't called that because it has 16 times more pixels.

Anyway, semantics. This comment discredits the reviewer in this sense.

Or scaling. Gnome supports scaling for high dpi displays out of the box. I suppose KDE too.

[โ€“] horrorslice@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

My experience with Gnome scaling has been rather poor. I haven't tried it in KDE.

[โ€“] airglow@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

KDE's fractional scaling is better than GNOME's after Plasma 6 was released, in my experience. While GNOME still requires some technical expertise to enable fractional scaling, KDE Plasma 6 supports it out of the box.

Since this laptop uses Plasma 6 on Wayland, I'm not sure why this reviewer chose to reduce the screen resolution instead of adjusting the scaling when both settings are right next to each other.

KDE has been good with this, but I still feel like my mouse pointer gets huge or tiny in different apps and I think it's just the fragmentation of the ecosystem and all these apps are high-dpi aware in their own way. Nothing we can blame KDE for.

[โ€“] sznowicki@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I know fractional scaling is bad on Wayland but tbh I also know that many systems and gpus have issue with fractional scaling. I go with 200% and it works just fine on apple studio display.
