I have the Samsung 49" ultrawide 5120 x 1440 screen, and a 2015 MBP Retina 13".

I am trying to make this work, but screen will not go to desired resolution.

I have a HP spectre 360 PC, that will do this resolution using the exact same cable, however only 30Hz and that is fine to me because i do MS office work and CAD.

I tried the app SwitchRES-X and i cannot seem to find a profile here that works.

Did anyone try this combination of machines?

I am running this with no issues in windows 7 on my Mac Pro 2009 and newer nVidia card, so i think even if hardware and software is old it should be doable.

Anyone who can help me solve this deserves a huge thanks!
