Fewer scaling options on HDMI

[iandk]

Hey there,

So I've got a Mac mini M1 a few months ago and I'm quite happy with it.
I have two LG 4K monitors connected to the mini, one via USB C -> Displayport and one via HDMI.

Unfortunately I have fewer scaling options on my HDMI monitor, I can't select 3008x1692 which is basically the perfect resolution for me.


Is it somehow possible to use 3008x1692 even on the HDMI display?


Thanks!

Try SwitchRes X. It's a little app that can give you access to some "unsupported" screen resolutions.

Curious - did you you have either of these monitors connected to another Mac via HDMI before your Mac Mini, and did it offer that 3008x1692 resolution? I'm wondering if it's something unique to the M1 Mac Mini or perhaps the macOS version.

No it never showed 3008x1692 via HDMI, same with my old intel Mac.
Switchresx is not an option since the image gets super blurry

Try pressing the alt/option key while switching from standard to scaled/skaliert. Or Maybe you already have, since it is a list.. 🤔
