1920x360 on Macbook M1 on 2nd Monitor, how? #101

Open sfof opened 2 years ago

Hello,

i use a Macbook Pro (16", 2021 M1Max) with MacOS Monterey (v12.5.1) and would like to operate an LCD on it, as second screen (24” 1920*360 Model Nr: DV240FBM-NB0), connected by HDMI.

In the Mac System Preferences, 1920x360 is not found. I couldn't do it with the SwitchResX tool. Now I have installed displayplacer and get the following information with the command "displayplacer list":

snip mode 44: res:1920x360 hz:60 color_depth:8 scaling:on mode 45: res:1920x360 hz:60 color_depth:8 snap

Unfortunately, when I use the command: displayplacer "id:A1143EF6-E7F8-4A2C-A76D-1B5ED5F1C978 mode:44” or displayplacer "id:A1143EF6-E7F8-4A2C-A76D-1B5ED5F1C978 mode:45”

the resolution on the second display remains at 1920x1080 or 1280x720. Any ideas ?
