Mac mini M2 with LG 34WK95U don't recognise 3440x1440 as HiDPI

I would like to know if there is some way to use Mac mini M2 with LG 34WK95U with 3440x1440 resolutions as HiDPI.


Thanks.

What cable connection are you currently using?

USB-C, HDMI or DisplayPort


I would suggest using a USB-C to DisplayPort 8k cable.

for example > https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09M38CXZ3/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?


Then to somewhat address your HiDPI question, have a look at the following link.

Mac's and LG's don't play well on a Thunderbolt/USB-C cable.

HDMI is limited to 1080p even using a short premium certified cable.

USB-C to DisplayPort will give widescreen resolution options at higher refresh rates.


I just used the Sikland for example. There are dozens of other USB-C to DisplayPort 4k and 8k cables, that will work just fine between the Mac mini and that LG display.
