Text on Dell U2723QE Monitor with Mac Mini M2

[diusonem]

I just got mine after reading this thread, using at 1440. Text is crisp, for photos Apple RGB + DCI p3 is a bit too much constrast/vibrant for casual photo editing (does not look the same as e.g., viewing on iphone/ipad), so only Apple RGB output is for me good (less pale).

A complaint is WindowServer always run with 35-40% CPU (after restarting the mac M1 it is still the same).

I.e. you've told macOS to scale the user interface 151%.

Interesting.

I have m1 16gb, running same monitor at 1224p. Windowserver is using
It's at the top in memory usage, but that's a little misleading because apps like chromium are broken into many separate processes

But anyway, MacOS uses a lot of memory and CPU to keep the display running

Any delay when waking the U2723QE from sleep?

No but I never turn off the power on the monitor, even when I sleep or turn off the mini. I just let the monitor go into stand by. According to the manual the difference in power consumption between off and standby is 0.1w, so I don't bother switching it off

not only CPU but huge memory usage as well, ~10Gb sitting there for `WindowServer`, it becomes ~500Mb if changing to `1920 x 1080 (Default)`.
