Native MacBook display raytracing on/off

Extended 2k display raytracing on/off (grainy)

I’ve been playing NTE on macOS and ran into a frustrating issue. There doesn't seem to be any option to manually change the screen resolution in the game settings.
When I play on my MacBook's built-in display, the game looks great. But when I move it to an extended 2K monitor, the picture becomes noticeably grainy and blurry.
I checked the scaling stats, and here is what is happening under the hood:
When playing on the 2K extended display:
- Scaling spatial
- scaling input res: 1708x964
- scaling target res: 2560x1440
When playing on the MacBook screen:
- Scaling spatial
- scaling input res: 2308x1472
- scaling target res: 3456x2202
Basically, on the external monitor, the game is rendering at a very low input resolution (~964p) and then spatially upscaling it to 1440p, which is causing the terrible graininess. On the MacBook screen, the input resolution is much higher, so the upscaling looks fine.
Has anyone found a workaround to force a higher input resolution on an external monitor on macOS? Or is our only option to wait for the devs to add proper display settings?

when the game is just loading on the external monitor, it initially shows scaling input res 2176x1224, but then it drops to 1708x964 once it fully loads.
