Q: Mac Pro not recognizing correct monitor?
Hello,
I have a 2009 quad core Mac Pro with the basic setup running the latest El Capitan. I decided to splurge on an LG 25UM57 ultra wide monitor. The LG monitor has only two HDMI ports, no DVI or VGA. I am using a mini display port to HDMI adaptor with an HDMI cord to connect the monitor. The problem is, I can't get the Mac Pro to recognize that I'm using an actual monitor, not a television.
I'm assuming that I need to purchase a DVI to HDMI adaptor to get the correct screen aspect ratio and setting? It is supposed to be 2560x1080. I've tried holding the Option button when I clicked on the Scaled button in the Displays preference pane, but I didn't get the option for the full 2560x1080. Is there anything else I might've overlooked?
Thanks!
Jerry
