iPad SideCar Resolution Reset

Several threads are discussing the issue of scaled down iPad resolution.


An easy solution is to reset the resolution using https://github.com/univ-of-utah-marriott-library-apple/display_manager using the following commands in a terminal:

  1. git clone https://github.com/univ-of-utah-marriott-library-apple/display_manager
  2. cd display_manager
  3. python3 -m venv .venv
  4. source .venv/bin/activate
  5. pip install pyobjc
  6. python display_manager.py show # identify the display, mine was ext0
  7. python display_manager.py res default ext0


After 7 everything is back to normal.
