2 identical external monitors displaying different resolutions - M3 Max
Hi,
I plugged in 2 identical innocn 27C1U-L external monitors to my 2024 M3 Max via a Kensington dual 4K dock. Both monitors work, but one is crystal clear and the other is blurry. In system settings, the resolutions are both set as the same values (1920x1080 (default)). See attached screenshots. However, one of the two monitors has more options than the other (the "optimize for" button never appears for one of them, regardless whether it's the main display or the extended display). In the About in the System Settings, one display comes up as 3840x2160 and the other as 1920x1080. See the third screenshot. Again, this is a little weird, because both of the monitors have a default setting of 1920x1080 in the System Settings.
Also, the first time I plugged in, the monitor on the left was displaying clearly, and the one on the right was blurry. After restarting, it's been the opposite since. But at least this shows that both of the monitors can handle the higher res output.
I understand that M3 Max can handle 2+ external monitors at high resolutions, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get both to display in higher res. I've rebooted, switched cables around, switched ports, unplugged and used "option" key in display settings to "Detect Displays."
Does anyone have any idea of how to make this work? It's incredibly frustrating. Thanks!
