Even if you choose QHD or a Full-HD, the macOS system is smart enough to scale it to match your monitor resolution. For example, we connected a 4K monitor to our MacBook and selected 2,560 x 1,440 from the macOS system settings. The system scaled it to 4K resolution without skipping a beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: Using a scaled resolution may affect your Mac performance. While performance drop isn\u2019t visible on high-end Mac models, you may notice longer loading times for older devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, if you want to check all the resolution options, scroll down and click <strong>Advanced<\/strong> within the same menu. Toggle \u2018<strong>Show resolutions as list<\/strong>\u2019 button and check the available options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guidingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adjust-Resolution-for-Second-Display-on-Mac-8-1.png\" alt=\"Adjust Resolution for Second Display on Mac 8 1\" class=\"wp-image-441967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guidingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adjust-Resolution-for-Second-Display-on-Mac-8-1.png 864w, https:\/\/www.guidingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adjust-Resolution-for-Second-Display-on-Mac-8-1-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.guidingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adjust-Resolution-for-Second-Display-on-Mac-8-1-768x430.png 768w, https:\/\/www.guidingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adjust-Resolution-for-Second-Display-on-Mac-8-1-687x385.png 687w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can tweak the following parameter from the Displays menu besides display resolution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Color Profile<\/strong>: The system lets you select another color profile, such as Adobe RGB, Display P3, image P3, and more.
