Apple says that macOS Golden Gate greatly improves ultrawide monitor support, Reddit says it doesn’t, and an AppleInsider staffer simply can’t tell.

Considering the hours I spend in front of this 49-inch ultrawide monitor, you would think that I’d notice if Apple improved anything. And I thought I did.
Right after installing the very first developer beta of macOS Golden Gate, and I mean immediately, I thought my screen looked better. It seemed a little crisper, and while I don’t mean it ever flickered, it somehow seemed more stable, and still does now that macOS 27 has seen its first major patch.
