BetterDisplay Pro 5.2.1 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesBetterDisplay is a display management app for Mac, and the Pro edition unlocks its full feature set. It is aimed at people who use external monitors and are frustrated by the limited scaling and brightness options macOS offers for third-party displays. With it you can create custom HiDPI resolutions, control display brightness and volume through DDC, and protect your preferred display configuration so it does not reset between restarts.
Key Features
- Flexible HiDPI scaling and custom resolutions for external displays
- Brightness, contrast and volume control for connected monitors, including DDC control
- Virtual screens and picture-in-picture for flexible multi-display workflows
- Display arrangement, colour and HDR/XDR brightness options on supported hardware
- Configuration protection so your display setup survives restarts and reconnections

FAQs
Is there a free version of BetterDisplay?
Yes. A set of features is available free for personal use, and the Pro features come with a trial period. A Pro licence is a one-time, perpetual purchase from the official site, not a subscription.
Do I need Pro for basic brightness control?
Basic display controls are part of the free feature set for personal use, while advanced scaling, virtual screens and configuration tools are Pro features. The official site lists exactly which features fall on each side.
