Ultra Wide Monitor image is getting stretched out

Dear all,

I am having an external Samsung odyssey 49" which i connect it to my Macbook pro 2017 using an 8k displayport to usb c. It works well with a displayport version 1.1, however the image on the external monitor is stretched out. I tried to play with the resolution but no progress. Anyone knows how to solve that issue?

best wishes

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0

external monitor not fitting screen properly Hi. I have a Mac Book Pro M1 paired with a band new Samsung 28" LU28R55 external monitor but the picture is not fitting the monitor screen properly. It's small and the top and edges are cut off - not expanded to the length and hight of the potentiality of the screen. There's no option on the monitor to adjust this setting and it's the same with the settings on the Mac itself. Im using HDMI inputs and outputs from MAC book This is a 4k screen running at 60hz. Plug and play so the specialist say. Not sure what the issue is

Unable to change resolution on extended display / external monitor Hi, I've been using a Toshiba monitor as an extended display for my 13inch MacBook Pro M1 for over three years. After the last Ventura upgrade, something seems to have gone wrong with the resolution. The monitor view is now blurry and everything on it is enlarged to the point of being virtually unreadable. I have tried adjusting the resolution of the extended display in the System Settings (as per instructions on Apple's site), but this doesn't seem to be working as it should. It's now only offering me two resolution options for this display (800x600 default or 1280 x 1024). When I try to click 1280x1024, it immediately jumps back to 800x600. I've tried unplugging, turning off and on and reconnecting, but nada. I've also scoured Google for other recent reports of this issue and haven't been able to find any suggestions to fix it. I did also log an error on the Mac issue site last week, but haven't seen any updates about this. It's getting frustrating and not sure if I'm going to have to replace the monitor, which seems like an excessive fix. This monitor can also be used as a smart TV and all the display viewing options for that are still working correctly with no resolution issues, so it seems to be coming from the Mac. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks for the answer. However, according to the disciption of the cable should be compatible to convert usb c to displayport.

The 8k DisplayPort may not be compatible with your Mac.
