Dell U4919DW / MacBook pro 5k issue

Unfortunately that's just one additional LG 5k/6k display override, of which there are already several present in mojave as well. The question is how exactly the override works / what the special EDID sections which break the parsing of an exported EDID file are.

The 2019 MacBook Pro comes with 2 or 4 USB-C-Ports which include several technologies: USB3.1 for data transmission and connecting external devices, an "Alternate Mode" for connecting monitors and Thunderbolt 3 data transmission. Both, the Alternate Mode and Thgunderbolt may drive compatible monitors. The Alternate Mode includes DVI/HDMI and Displayport, both with additional data transmission.

In your case with the Radeon Pro 560X, you may connect the monitor to any of the integrated USB-C-Ports. Wether you use a USB-C to USB-C cable or a USB-C to Displayport Cable, you will get a connection via Displayport in either cases.

Hi i have the same problem with the 499p9H.

When I connect with the USB C cable included the max resolution is 3840x1080.

With SwitchResX I can up to 5120x1440 but in 30hz.

No way to have 60hz or 70hz.

I put like you said USB 2.0....

When I try to add a new resolution with 60hz the system refuses....

Can you help me ?

I have a MBP 2018 with Vega 20

Thank

How did you get SwitchReX to do 5120*1440? What were the settings that you used?

I can only get SwitchResX to do a scaled resolution of 5120*1440, which makes the text look very blurry. I could deal with the resolution at a lower hz, but I cannot get that work.

You cannot set SwichResX to support a native 5120x1440 resolution. You have to use the Picture-by-Picture function and instal two displays with 2560x1440 side by side.

HOW??? even that is not working for me. I'm using PbP mode with the monitor acting as 2 different monitors and 2560 x 1440 is not an available resolution.

Can someone please walk me through the steps for using the monitor as 2 monitors. I cannot get that to work. Are there specific cables to make this work? I have a USB-C to USB-C thunderbolt and a Moshi USB-C to DP. I assumed that when I connected the USB-C to PBP half screen I would get a resolution option of 2560 x 1440, but I do not.

it is absurd that Apple choses not to support these monitors because Apple does mot sell a viable alternative. The LG 5K is a good if homely product but is too small and way overpriced. BTW we have two.

Hopefully this will be the fix we all need! I've been tinkering away at this for ages now and closest i've got to getting my Phillips 499P9H to run at 4096x1440@70 on a single cable thanks to SwitchResX.

The thing that is really absurd is that they do not even acknowledge this issue. Call Apple support and ask for support with this and they will have no idea what you're talking about despite all the posts to their forums about this very issue.

They should say, go away we're not gonna help you, but they should at least acknowledge the problem.

Can anyone confirm this for me?

I'm looking at purchasing a MacBook Pro that will be compatible with the U4919DW monitor. I want it to work properly without any "workarounds." Full resolution out of the box. My understanding from this thread is that it must be a dedicated graphics card instead of the integrated one.

I talked to Apple sales today and I was told that ALL 13" MBPs (without exception) have integrated cards. And that ALL 15" MBPs (without exception) have dedicated cards. I was also told that you cannot customize a 13" to have a dedicated card.

Is this correct?

"I don't like the placement of the dock. I would like it to be in the

middle of the monitor and it's not. It's in the middle of the first

virtual monitor. "

Yes, for "dock-bottom" users, this is an issue. Mine is on the right side - there is so much less vertical space than horizontal that I did not want wasting it for the dock. The only remaining issue is the menu bar, which starts in the middle of my screen - but on the other side it helps to shorten mouse moves.

The fundamental problem is not the adapter you are using. Did you try using the Moshi Adapter yourself or are you just speculating? I purchased this adapter and I am still only able to achieve the 4K resolution. Maybe you can give the community more information regarding your setup and how you were able to achieve 5K using this adapter.

@askingretail Thank you for sharing your setup; personally $600 is a lot of money to spend after having spent £2000 on a new MacBook Pro.

I have installed Catalina and it does not solve the issue. Actually, now MacOS thinks it is a hi-dpi display and switched to a default "optimal" resolution of 1920x540.

I cannot believe that Apple can get away with advertising that this MacBook Pro can drive 5120x2880 resolution when it is not true with all the monitors. Are specs advertised on a website legally binding? Could we sue Apple for this?

I updated to Catalina earlier today as well. Were you able to change it to 5120x1440? I am using a similar monitor (CRG9) and I can see 5120x1440 listed as low resolution. It works but it is not ideal.

I have the same issue with my MacBook Pro 2019 15 inches hooked to lg 49 inches monitor. I am able to see the list of resolution options you mentioned in the post. Where can I find them? I just upgraded to the latest OS too. Thanks
