Wrong aspect ratio sidecar

Hello! I have a MacBook Pro 16" 2020 and a iPad Pro 11" 2021. When I try to use the sidecar function, I get the wrong aspect ratio/revolution. The screen on the iPad does not fill the entire screen, there are black boxes on the top and bottom of the screen. And if I go to "About this mac" -> "Displays" it says that the Mac reads the iPad as 20" 2388x1668 and the name is really weird. How do I fix this?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.5

Sidecar not showing full screen on Ipad I have the latest updates for my MacBook pro and Ipad Air (3rd Gen). When I use my iPad for sidecar it shows a different aspect ratio than it used to. When in sidecar mode, the iPad has the top 1 inch and the bottom 2 inches cut off / unusable. I do not remember changing any settings before this suddenly happened one day. Any help would be appreciated.

Sidecar Resolution on iPad Pro 5Gen + MacBook Pro 15 (MacOS Ventura) The option to adjust the resolution, aspect ratio, and scaling of a connected sidecar display (like it was on Catalina/Big Sur) has simply not been added to the new Mac OS Ventura settings menu. Also as option to adjust any resolution to my MacBook Pro 16 screen. I want to choose resolution on my own, why Apple decided to give me just a few presets with icons and name it like: "More space"etc. Which means that any connected Sidecar display will have top and bottom letterboxes. SideCar was the only reason to buy the iPad for my professional purposes and now i cannot use it!
