DELL U3818DW screen no longer supported.

My widescreen worked fine in Mojave.

Looks like it is not supported by Catalina. The highest resolution available is 1920x800, which is way lower than my screen is capable of.

I am using Mac Pro (Late 2013)

I followed the "alt" suggestion above too ("alt" is the "option" key on the MacBook keyboard), and chose the 3840 x 1600 (low resolution) option, which is the U3818 native resolution. This seemed to restore the display to the previous resolution I used with Mojave. If any anomalies are observed with this setting, please post them here.

I got this weird issue... :

  • I got a 2017 13" Macbook pro on Mojave. Had the issue, put the "ALT" trick did the job.
  • On my 2018 15" Macbook pro on Mojave, doesn't work (best I can get is 1920x1080).


For both I use the DELL WD15 dock.

Funny thing, plugging directly with the usb-c adapter works...

And we got no answer for months on that topic ><

What a user experience...

I found that you can get it to work by using Parallels Toolbox, using the tool to change resolution to suit the monitor.

Doing this on VMware Fusion:

Interesting. Nifty workaround, on Parallels’ part I do not use Parallels, so I was not aware of that. My Mac is being serviced right now, so I cannot try that at the moment with VMWare Fusion.


Here is the closest item I can find on VMWare Fusion in accordance is at page 10 of this link: VMware Tools Configuration Utility User’s Guide

A Screenshot of Page 10. It Reads:


So, apparently, for VMware Fusion, that would not work, being that it does not affect the host (the Mac). But I most certainly plan look into it.
