Hi all,
After unplugging the thunderbolt cable from my Dell U4919DW from my Macbook Air M1, the display resolution changes into some weird resolution that doesnt fit my macbook screen.... I have to go into display setting in the System Preference to change it back to make it usable. Can anyone tell me whats going on? Will this be fix in the next MacOS Monterey software up? Thanks
I have found a temporary quick fix for a stretched out resolution after disconnecting an ultra-wide display:
Change the refresh rate to another refresh rate like 60hz, then switch it back to pro-motion.
As such, you don't have to restart your mac every time.
Details:
I don't see any problem with the image you posted.
Can you explain what else you were expecting to have?
Thanks, but to clarify I am not mirroring displays. I use it as extended monitor. I’ve done this for about 1y with my older macbook without any issues.
Did you try with the Option key down, that is, hold down Option and click Scaled?
Also, did you try setting the external display as the main display?
Tried both with no change. The necessary options that were there before the upgrade just aren’t there now..
Weird. The refresh rate option for 60 Hz just showed up in the drop down and now, it’s working. I’m good now, I guess. 🥴
Neat, just installed SwitchResX and I’m liking it a lot - problem solved 👍
Update to my post...I downloaded the "Synaptics" from Couzin_Vinny's post and it worked! Thanks!
this wouldn't affect those of us having the issue with a Thunderbolt display to mac connection.
