Seconding this. Feels actively anti-user even if this is just a bunch of heuristics that end up choosing the wrong thing. Honestly, why is this not a dropdown?
Related bug: macOS defaults to variable refresh rate when available instead of remembering my choice of 144hz. This is confounded by my hub (Caldigit TS3 Plus), which has trouble with variable refresh rates that result in a black screen.
The cherry on top: either I use a HDMI cable and deal with BetterDisplay forcing RGB to fix YCbCr, or a black screen when using DP through my hub due to the above bug.
Sometimes I wish Apple would get broken up just so macOS could have a chance at getting more love.
It’s very on brand for Apple to remove an option to trigger / customise something that should “just work”.
Example: iCloud Photos syncing is complete crap on macOS. If it has synced recently it’s not going to do it again. So you sit there like an idiot waiting 10 minutes for a photo you just took on your phone e to show up. When a pull to refresh or refresh button would have fixed it.
iCloud Photos syncing is crap on iOS too. iOS will randomly stop uploading photos to the cloud "to optimize performance". Every time something's not uploading, I check my iPhone settings only to find that it's "optimizing performance" again. Even if it's on a full battery and I'm barely even using it. There is no way to turn this off - you have to manually catch it every single time it decides to "optimize performance" and tell it to sync for an hour. If you took enough photos for it to take longer than that hour to upload them all, you'll have to do this multiple times as it goes right back to "optimizing performance" after that hour. Again, there is no way to turn this off.
I bought a custom HMDI dongle that forced 4k RGB HDR for my OLED LG from M1 Mac.
Interesting. Could you post a link to the dongle?
Not sure what the other guy uses, but I use this Anker with my LG OLED to get RGB 4k@120 HDR with my M1 MacBook Pro:

I'd go with a caldigit TS4 + their hdmi/dp active adapter.

As much as I like the integration between the phone and macOS I like the idea of desktop Mac getting more love.
