How do I improve resolution on an old monitor? (Totally fine with Switch but not with MacBook/windows laptop)
So I picked up a iiyama ProLite b2409HDS monitor the other day (out of my apartment's bin room, someone was moving out I think) and it's supposedly 1080p but looks horrendous!
I don't know how to show it well and I think taking a screenshot isn't the best idea since that's maybe just down to 1080p looking worse than the built in screen on a MacBook Pro but I've included those pics anyway alongside some photos I took of the differing screens.
This woud be very roughly comparable to Reddit saying they are going to federate with lemmy.
Reddit source code was open on Github until 6 years ago, I've been tempted to revive it and integrate federation ;) Using only "old reddit" level of interface. Just getting 6 year old code to install and compile is kind of a mess, but I invite anyone who is considering it to share notes! https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit
Yeah I'd followed a guide online for calibration which I think made it worse. I've played around more now and it looks best when it's mirroring my built in screen but doesn't look great when it's in extended display mode. I'll probably stick the switch on it and see how it looks.
