## What it is
A shell script that enables macOS HiDPI on non-retina displays by injecting display overrides, giving a native 'Scaled' option in System Preferences. It supports remote one-line execution and includes recovery options including a patched EDID mode.

## Use cases
- enable hidpi on a non-retina mac display
- get native scaled resolution option in macos settings
- make external monitor look sharper on macos
- fix blurry display scaling on macos
- inject patched edid to fix display wake-up issues

## When to choose
- you run macOS on a non-retina display and want HiDPI scaling
- you want a simple one-command script with recovery options

## When to avoid
- you have a native retina display already
- you cannot tolerate boot issues or logo scaling artifacts
- you need a supported, licensed tool for production environments

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool

- function: cli, developer-tools, configuration-management
- domain: operating-systems, desktop-applications, hardware
