iPad Pro 11” External Monitor

Is there no support for extended display or desktop like functionality with external monitor for iPad Pro? It feels like it is a poorly experience... the image is all cropped and up scaled :(

iPad Pro, iOS 13

External display capabilities are currently limited to “mirroring” the iPad display; mirroring does not benefit from rescaling to the aspect-ratio or native resolution of the connected external monitor. At present, an extended desktop - similar to that of a PC - isn’t something that iPadOS supports at this time.


However, some media player Apps do support rescale output to match the aspect ratio of the external monitor.
