Total Control Over Every Pixel
🔍 CLI & Automation Support
With this feature, you can control display settings using commands or scripts. So, it makes automation and repetitive tasks much easier for everyone.
🌈 Light Sensor Integration
With these amazing features, the Better Display can adjust the brightness of your system by detecting the surrounding lights. It basically reads your Mac’s ambient light sensor to help adjust brightness.
☀️ XDR & HDR Extra Brightness
If you download the BetterDisplay app on devices that are compatible with XDR and HDR displays, then you can adjust brightness. So, it allows your screen to adjust colors and other settings despite any standard macOS limits.
🖥 Virtual Display (Dummies)
The better display app is also suitable for remote work, screen mirroring, or multi-display setups. This is because you can create virtual screens with custom resolutions and share them with others easily.
🎛 Picture-in-Picture Mode
With the Picture-in-Picture mode, you can easily multitask and improve your productivity. As this app allows you to view any display in a small floating window, it makes work management smooth.
🪟 Headless Mac Support
Another exciting feature of Better Display is that it allows you to run your Mac without connecting a monitor. This is because it still offers you high resolution and clear display modes on your Mac.
🎨 High-Quality Zoom
Normally, taking screenshots or zooming out the screen causes blurriness and reduces the picture quality. But this app does not affect the macOS zoom and screenshot quality. So, you can easily save screen recordings, screenshots without any screen blur effect.
⚙️ Sidecar Resolution Scaling
You can also set your iPad as a second screen display by using the Better Display app. However, to improve the display, you can also change and fine-tune Sidecar screen resolution.
