BetterDisplay (tidigare BetterDummy) är ett kraftfullt och mångsidigt verktyg för Mac som gör det enkelt att hantera och anpassa dina skärmar.
Med appen kan du skala om bildskärmar till HiDPI-läge, styra ljusstyrkan, använda XDR/HDR-upscaling för extra ljusstyrka, dimma ner skärmen helt till svart, skapa och hantera virtuella skärmar samt öppna Picture in Picture-fönster av dina bildskärmar. Alla inställningar nås smidigt direkt från menyraden.
