JANUARY 2022 MACWORLD 21Applications folder. When asked if you’re
sure about opening it, select Open.
Click the newly created BetterDummy
icon on the Mac menu bar, select Create
New Dummy ( 1 ), then select the aspect
ratio of your monitor from the list. This
creates a new, high-resolution virtual
monitor alongside your actual one.
If you have multiple monitors that need
fixing, click Create New
Dummy again for each
monitor. Confirm that the
number of monitors in
bold under Manage
Dummies matches the
number in your setup. If
you don’t do this now, you
will need to repeat the
entire setup process later.
Now that you’ve
created your dummy
monitors, it’s time for
the act of trickery. Head
to System Preferences
→ Displays, then select
Display Settings ( 2 ).
From here, select
your actual display,
meaning the one that
does not say “Dummy”
underneath. Under the
“Use as” dropdown,
select “Mirror for
Dummy” ( 3 ).
Be warned that this step may make
everything look tiny on your monitor. Find
the Scaled option in the Resolution list,
then select the Larger Text icon at the far
left side of the menu ( 4 ).
At this point, text and images should
be scaled up to a much larger size, while
still preserving sharp text and crisp
images. The last step is to fine-tune the3.4.
