Dell S3422dwg resolution on MacBook Pro not recognizing

Hi Everyone, I recently did an update to macOS Monterey Version 12.3.1 and now my Dell S3422DWG will not recognize the resolution past 1340 x 1900. It should be able to go up to 3440 X 1440 which it did before the update.


Has anyone else ran into this issue? If so how did you resolve it?




Also, I have tried different HDMI cables, as well I connected the monitor to a Windows 10 machine and no problems recognizing the 3440 X 1440 resolution

I found something in another topic that might be helpful. I can't try it since I don't yet have the monitor.


"Hi same issues here since update to 12.3.1.


2x LG ULTRA WIDE monitors connected to Mac Mini. 1 of them could not get the correct resolution.


  • Unplugging didn't work
  • Trying all options in Display settings: no result


Solution:

  1. Change INPUT SETTINGS in monitor hardware to accept the wrong maximum input Mac OS provided, resulting in 2 black sidebars.
  2. Then went back to DISPLAY SETTINGS Mac OS. And tadaa: the correct resolution was shown under SCALED dropdown.
  3. Select the correct resolution under scaled (ultra wide 2560x1080)
  4. Once selected MAC OS gives a short flash in both screens et voila! Both screens accept the "Default for Display" resolution

This review got my attention because they have a MacBook Pro 16" 2021 because that is what I have tested on:

This cable does not work at all with the MacBook Pro 16" 2021, tested with multiple monitors. This seems to be an issues for users other than me too. Useless cable, they should stop selling it while this issue exists.
