Question about screen distortion on external monitor. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I use a windows computer for work with a usb-c to HDMI hub.

I needed to use my wife’s m1 air, and there was weird distortion on the screen. It was minimal, but noticeable.

I read that this can be a problem with m1 and m2 air models. I plan to get an m4 air in the next few months and I’m wondering if this model has any screen distortion problems on an external monitor.

I do not have distortion problems with any of my other computers using the same hub and wires, so I don’t think it’s a problem with them.

And it's only on her M1 and not any other machine?

On my display I have at home I have a kinda similar issue, but it's on all machines. It's just only noticeable on Mac OS with the default colors the theme uses. On 100% white it's too blinding to tell, any darker and it blends in. The "lines" are the border between the pixels and as far as I can tell it's because the display has a poor "dot pitch" for it's size.

They're still there when I connect a PC, but like I said it's harder to tell with the theme Windows uses, but they're still there.
