Mac Mini has an old Intel HD3000 graphic adapter that by default shares 288Mb of RAM with the system memory and apparently has a pixel clock limitation.

On my Windows PC the UHD resolution worked out-of-the box since the graphic card was pretty performant but on Mac Mini didn’t. Recently I’ve purchased this Samsung UHD Monitor. Httpvh://This is the best investment I did for this Mac. Httpvh://Few years later the default harddisk felt slow and I have added an 250Gb SSD Drive: Got 8Gb from Amazon and installed the RAM (~2 minutes).

įirst thing I did was to upgrade the RAM. Was a pretty good deal ~550 Euro for the 2.3 GHz i5 Model. It'd be nice to have something that detected the monitor being connected or disconnected and made these changes automatically.I have purchased my Mac Mini end of 2011. I would love to see an app that made this process a little less painful. I cannot understand why UI scaling is still not available in MacOS, especially at a time when all sorts of display sizes and resolutions are becoming common, but this is where we stand as of January, 2019. If you are using a high resolution screen with a laptop, you will have to readjust the Dock and Finder icons when the monitor is disconnected, then set them again when you are back using the monitor. There is no way to modify the Menubar text size. Those using high resolution monitors who want to make sure they are using all that screen real estate need to make sure the monitor is set to its native resolution in the Displays control panel, and then adjust the size of the Dock and the Finder icons to something usable. UI scaling was not available in MacOS El Capitan, and it has not been available in any version of MacOS. Kevin Grabher's earlier reply is correct and remains correct, even under Mojave. As in El Capitan, it just changes the resolution of the monitor. The Display settings panels from El Capitan and High Sierra do appear to mean different things, but adjusting the scaling setting in High Sierra does not changing the UI scaling.
The answers from Amida and Ornataweaver are incorrect and should perhaps be removed to avoid confusion around this issue. So my question is: Why isn't the scaled option always available when using an external monitor with Mac?īy the way, the equivalent option in Windows is to change the DPI settings, which causes all elements to look bigger and sharp and it works on all displays:
However, in my opinion the default UI size of the Mac is a bit too small on a typical 27" 2K screen so I would like to scale all UI elements bigger (I mean all, not just fonts) as it is possible to do using the internal monitor.Īccording to some screenshots that I found, the scaled menu is available at least for this 4K monitor: I don't want to change the resolution of my external monitor since I always want to use the native resolution of the monitor to achieve maximum sharpness. The Display settings menu looks somewhat like this: However, when I connect my Macbook to a 2K monitor, the Scaled option is not available, I can only set the resolution. The best thing here is the Scaled option, which means that I can use the native resolution of the screen and rescale all UI elements bigger or smaller depending on my taste and they still look very sharp. When I use my Macbook Pro's internal monitor, I have the following options in the Display settings menu:
