BetterDisplay Pro Pre-Release refers to the early-access builds of BetterDisplay, the Mac display management app, made available ahead of a stable release. These builds are meant for experienced users and testers who want to try new display features early - such as changes to HiDPI scaling, brightness handling and virtual screens - and who are comfortable reporting bugs. If you rely on your display setup for daily work, the stable release is normally the safer choice.

Key Features

• Early access to new BetterDisplay features before the stable release
• HiDPI scaling and custom resolution tools for external displays
• Brightness and DDC control for connected monitors
• Virtual screens and picture-in-picture features on supported setups
• A direct feedback path to the developer while features are still being refined

FAQs

Should I install a pre-release build?

Only if you are comfortable with occasional bugs and unfinished behaviour. Pre-release software is provided for testing, so most users should wait for the stable BetterDisplay release.

Is the Pro licence included with pre-release builds?

Pre-release builds use the same licensing as the stable app: free features for personal use, with Pro features requiring a licence purchased from the official site after any trial period.
