## What it is
A macOS tool that parses and generates Display Override PropertyList files to enable HiDPI scaled resolutions for external monitors connected to MacBooks. It helps users get proper Retina-like scaling on displays that macOS does not natively support.

## Use cases
- enable HiDPI scaled resolutions on an external monitor
- fix blurry text on a non-Apple display connected to a MacBook
- generate display override propertylist files for macOS
- get Retina-like scaling on a 4K monitor with a Mac
- add custom resolutions to macOS display settings

## When to choose
- you use a MacBook with an external monitor that lacks native HiDPI scaling options
- you want sharper text via scaled resolutions on macOS
- you need to create or edit display override plist files safely

## When to avoid
- you are on Windows or Linux
- your display already offers native HiDPI scaled resolution options
- you need a general-purpose plist editor rather than display overrides
