Hi guys,
I got my Mac Mini M1 few days back.
Right off the bat, I see static and blinking purple squares on the screen at startup. They go away after I open any window over them. This keeps happening at every restart.
Then there's blurry text issue. I tried disabling MacOS Font Smoothing using Terminal scrip, it helps a bit but still a pain to look at.
I connect my old Samsung 24" 1080p monitor to the M1 direct using HDMI 2.0 cable. Swapped a few HDMI cables, and results are the same.
Anyone experienced this ? Would appreciate any inputs. Thanks guys.

QUOTE(carpathia @ Jan 11 2021, 12:11 AM) Probably it's your monitor problem ? I'm not sure, but not ruling out the possibility of old and new tech incompatibility. Been using the 1080p monitor as second display with my iMac for long without any issue. |

QUOTE(helpme2 @ Jan 14 2021, 03:24 AM) Hi guys, just got my Mac mini few days ago. Right now I’m using it with an external monitor (S2721QS) and I realised in the display setting I don’t have the option to adjust the resolution and refresh rate. also when I enable HDR the black are more grey and colours are pretty bland but it is all good when HdR is disabled. From “System Information” -> Graphics/Display “Resolution”: 3840 x 2160 and “UI looks like” 1920 x 1080 @60hz I’m using hdmi to hdmi, and I believe the is 1.4 hdmi cable. Anyone with such issue? Are you seeing blurry texts ? |

Hi, Check out this resource about Font Smoothing : https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/disable-fo...-macos-big-sur/I did some adjustments using the Terminal script, as outlined in that page. It helped a little, but its still bad. Could be compatibility issue with my old 1080p monitor, I suppose. For now, I hook up the Mac Mini M1 to my 32" TV as display. Looks good, even though it's only 720p. Gonna shop for a new monitor. |
