Hi guys,
I used BenQ EW2480 (21:9, 1080p) for the external monitor of my MacBook air, mid 2013model.
Now the issue is when using either 1600*900 or 1080p, "Dock" was hidden half of the way and "Menu bar" is completely disappeared.
How can I choose the optimal resolution when using the external monitor to have "menu bar" available?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
Not a problem. To be honest I don't know if it will support 1080. I happen to still have a 2013 13" MacBook Air but I've never used an external monitor. You could try the trial of SwitchResX and see what options are available.

Thank you for your help!
i found out actually there are a few softwares like the one you named
Basically the problem is MacBook has a ratio of 16:10, my monitor is 16:9; naturally the Menu bar and dock section will be compromised when mirroring.
Anyway i will try some software solutions to see if it can get fixed.
Are you sure about the model number? The BenQ EW2480 is 16:9, not 21:9.

sorry for the confusion, yes you are correct.
But which resolution should I choose to fit the monitor? at least i can see the full screen when connecting the external monitor
"CORRECTION" the monitor ratio is 16: 9 instead of 21: 9.
which resolution is the best to fit this ratio in order to have the full screen?
Thank you so much for your inputs.
You're welcome.
