Why is my screen is half cut off like there’s a black block?

What happens if you choose "DEFAULT FOR DISPLAY" instead of other SCALED options?

I couldn't see properly but is there a black strip / bar running along the left edge of the screen or is the screen just looks expanded and shifted to the left?


  1. Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
  2. Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
  3. Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the screen issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things then-
  4. Finally if none of the above works then you can enter ➔ macOS Recovery Mode and reinstall the macOS and see if that solves it.
