Does this app help support my old 1080p TV on Mac mini m1?

So I have a Mac mini m1, I have it plugged into a 12 year old 1920x1080 max full 1080p HD television via hdmi cable. It currently hurst my eyes so much with a blurry display because I can't set the resolution below 4K, will this app allow me to do that so I can set the resolution to 1920x1080?

Hi. If the display is 1080p, how to do you output 4K to it? But I think you can output 1080p without BetterDummy even on 4K displays, but with BetterDummy you can also set low resolutions (minimum resolution supported is 720p non-hidpi or 360p hidpi - which is not really useful in practice :)).

I tried it out, it made only a small difference, I need to buy a 4k tv really. Honestly I just plugged it in and it works but the text is kinda blurry no matter what I do.

Yes, a 4K display will definitely help with that. :)

I have the same issue with my MBA M1 connecting it to my Panasonic TQFF553 1080 TV screen.

Not sure what to do right now. Thinking of returning my new Macbook and switch back to Windows or replacing my Panasonic with a new 4K tv.

@Some-T have you bought the 4K tv eventually? If so is the quality as good as it should be? And do you use the HDMI port of the 4K TV?
