How do I fix the shrunken Sidecar display on iPad Pro 10.5 with Mac mini 2024?

Sidecar is squishes my iPad Pro 10.5 when using it with Mac mini 2024. What I mean by this is that vertically, the desktop of my Mac mini that is being viewed on my iPad Pro is shrink approximately 50 percent. I have tried to fix this, but I can't seem do do so. I want to use my iPad as a graphics tablet with Photoshop or other drawing program.

Thanks in advance!

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!

Sidecar resolution too high to be useful I'm using a 2018 MBP with MacOS Ventura 13.1 and a iPad Pro (12.9 inch) (3rd generation) with iPadOS Version 16.2 as my sidecar display. When I connect my iPad as a sidecar (extended) display, the resolution on the iPad is way too much, effectively making any text and UI so small to where it is not useful as a secondary display. Is there any native solution for this issue? I understand there might be some third-party apps that could possibly get the job done, although I haven't tried any to verify this claim, but they cost money and that just seems silly when it should work natively.
