Author of the article here. I tried all macOS offered but it wasn't good on 32'' at 4k sadly

You're complaining about things like the clock not being visible - that sounds a lot like you just didn't try the scaling.

I did, the clock was too small or my eyes aren't really good

32" 3840x2160 monitor with 1.5x scaling enabled is equal to a 32" 2560x1440 monitor.

32" 2560x1440 displays have the same PPI as 24" 1920x1080 displays (92 PPI).

MacOS has flawless scaling since the first retina Macbook Pro. What you are describing makes no sense to me...

It’s done by macOS and shouldn’t be something the application notices, can you give some examples of applications which don’t work well with scaling enabled?

I think you need a relatively new GPU. Some older models (older then 2015-2016) don't offer scaled resolutions yet, but you can still go for non-scaled 1440p. It is not as sharp on a native 4k display, but still way more readable.

Also always connect via DisplayPort instead of HDMI if you can, safes a ton of trouble.

I have a Macboom pro retina 2013. Scaling works just fine on my 32" 4K screen...
