So I picked up a iiyama ProLite b2409HDS monitor the other day (out of my apartment’s bin room, someone was moving out I think) and it’s supposedly 1080p but looks horrendous!

I don’t know how to show it well and I think taking a screenshot isn’t the best idea since that’s maybe just down to 1080p looking worse than the built in screen on a MacBook Pro but I’ve included those pics anyway alongside some photos I took of the differing screens.

    weird :D I assume you have checked in settings that ilyama has 1920x1080 resolution. The screenshot shows 4k in both cases

      Yes I downloaded like 2 resolution apps for further trying after trying all the resolutions available on my Mac 😂. Maybe a 2010ish monitor is just too old to match a 2020ish laptop?

      I’ve just stuck my switch on it and it looks perfectly fine! Looks better on that 24in 1080p than on my 27in 1440p monitor
