MacOS — Viewing Text Comfortably On A 4K or 5K Display
I work on macOS and have a HP U28 4K monitor.
I wanted to divide the monitor into 4 parts so that I could have 4 windows side by side in a 2 x 2 matrix.
When I resized my various windows, I found that I could hardly read the text in the native resolution of 3840 x 2160.
I did not want to jump down to 1920 x 1080 because then the windows would be too large for my liking.
And other resolutions (e.g. 3008 x 1692 etc) were low resolution due to DisplayLink issues.
So in this article I will explain how I individually tweaked each application (Outlook for mac, Chrome for mac, Teams for mac) to zoom in the text at an application level.
Outlook (macOS)
Go To Settings > General and click on the + symbol in the Text Display Size until its maxed out.
This made Outlook tolerable as the text was now larger and easier on the eyes on the same 4K resolution.
