This is why we strongly recommend only buying an external display for an M1 or M2 Mac that supports 4K or more such as one of these external displays: This is a particular problem on cheaper QHD monitors with resolutions of less than 4K especially 1440p which cannot reproduce the retina quality display of the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

Other problems Mac owners have struggled with include flickering, color problems, blurry fonts, garbled images and lag on external displays. Many MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac Mini and Mac Studio owners have found that text and icons can appear tiny, blurry or fuzzy when connected to external monitors that support 4K and 5K resolutions. There are various issues that can affect Mac users with external monitors but one of the most common is terrible image quality when connected to M1 and M2 Macs although Intel Mac users have also had problems. However, if you’ve bought one of the many alternatives to the Apple Studio Display then most of them don’t support 218 ppi which is at the heart of most resolution issues with external displays connected to Macs. If you bought an Apple Studio Display then chances are you have no problems with the resolution because with support for 218 pixels per inch (ppi), it’s designed for the high pixel density that Macs are capable of. If you’ve bought an external display for your Mac Studio, MacBook Pro or Mac Mini and found that the resolution is poor or the picture is blurry including on M1/M2 Macs, macOS Ventura and Monterey, here are some tips on how to fix it.
