I have the same issue that the following link
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250442250
I use a usb-c to hdmi adaptor to connect my iPad Pro to an external monitor but the image which displayed isn't full screen. There are black margins on top/bottom/left and right sides.
Someone have a solution ?
iPad Pro, iOS 12
Forgive me for being facetious but you're not a developer are you :) To suggest that all of the software would have to be rewritten is false to put it mildly. In fact, if you Google iPhone aspect ratio, you will quickly find that iPhones don't actually have the same ratio with iPhone 8 Plus actually having the 16:9 and the iPhone X having a more elongated unusual ratio. My point is that Apple needs to stop this nonsense and fix it and stop pretending like it's OK. There was no filesystem and now there is, there was no mouse support and now there is and this external monitor thing is nonsense: make it work Apple - people pay a lot of money for your products and shouldn't be forced to compromise on such basic things. Evolve faster.
I agree! I purchased the 2020 iPad Pro 12.9" to replace my iPad Air 3rd Gen and 2015 MacBook Pro with 1 device and was quite disappointed to discover the black bars when I connected it to an external monitor using a Dell USB-C docking station. I will say, aside from that, it's been an amazing device but, as others have said, it has a long way to go to be a laptop replacement. :(
For the left and right sides, OK.
However, even though we have a 4:3 aspect ratio, there is no reason to have black margins on top and bottom sizes of an 16:9 external screen.
Totally agree! Why call it a "Pro" device, when it is not to be used pro-like?!
Especially annoying with safari. Almost all web pages are adaptive to all kind of resolution and aspect ratio. At least safari should be full screen.
Apple tv + output scales perfectly 😂😂. Netflix and other streaming services scales, but not well.
It is what it is.
Some video streaming services scale the output differently coming from the iPad, despite LotusPilot’s explanation.
I have the exact same issues.
There is nothing that can be done.
Which 3rd part adapter was it
Brilliant. I so agree. Apple is an incredible system and they are lacking in the basics as described by the gentlemen above.
I have this too with HyperDrive POWER 9-in-1 adapter. Tried a friends Dell docking station WD15. This one filled the screen from top to bottom.
The day all touch screen tablets become mainstream laptops will be the day all laptop, including Apple's laptop computers, will be officially dead.
Which adapter do you use, please?
No full screen with my iPad Pro on an external monitor
