screen resolution

Hi

I have Macbook Pro mid 2015

I use scaled resolution 1680x1050 (2nd option from the right)

But sometimes when I connect external screens (Lenovo or Iyama) scaled settings on MAC screen are set to 1024x600

and only reload resolves the issue. Screen disconnection/reconnection, relogin do not help.


Is it a known issue?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), null

Hello pyrius,
I understand that you are having a resolution issues when connecting a secondary monitor. Let's go over some additional troubleshooting to get this to be more consistent.
I would start with resetting the SMC and NVRAM. Doing that will help reset the resolution and you would need to change it back to what you had setup previously. You also might want to startup in Safe Mode and change the resolution there as well. Look over the article below to assist with getting this sorted out.
