#Betterdummy mac drivers

Currently, I have to unplug and replug the USB-C for the monitor to connect. It might just be a problem with the DisplayPort drivers or Big Sur.

I am still having a problem where the system won’t detect the monitor when waking up from sleep. That is when I was finally able to get 5120 x 1440 (low resolution). I had to change the refresh rate setting on my monitor from 120hz to 60hz and turn off Freesync. I was able to connect the monitor with the new USB-C cable, however, max resolution I was able to get was 3840 x 1080 60hz. I ordered a Maxonar DisplayPort to USB-C cable from Amazon, which supports DP 1.4. The HDMI cable worked but not at 5120 x 1440. I assuming it’s because the usb-c cable I had only supports DP 1.3. At first the M1 wouldn’t work with the DisplayPort to USB-C cable, even after updating to Big Sur 11.0.1. However, on the new Mac Mini M1 I had a hard time getting 5120x1440 120hz. It works perfectly with on MacBook Air 2020. You can contribute to the code.I have a SAMSUNG 49” CRG9, which supports 5120 x 1440 120hz.

You might have to fight with the Displays tab in Preferences sometimes as (at least on Monterey) the Optimize for setting tends to reset at random times to the physical display for unknown reasons while changing the settings (the Displays tab appears to be rather buggy in general).

To alleviate this problem, DummyDisplay creates a virtual dummy display for you which you can then utilize as a mirror main.Īdvantages of BetterDummy over a physical 4K HDMI dummy plug: This approach has obvious drawbacks (you need to buy a dummy, you render your HDMI port useless etc.) To fix this issue, many resort to buying a 4K HDMI dummy dongle to fool macOS into thinking that a 4K display is connected and then mirror the contents of this dummy display to the physical lower-res display in order to have HDMI resolution. Notoriously they don’t allow sub 4K resolution displays to have HiDPI (“Retina”) resolutions even though a 22″ – 24″ QHD display would greatly benefit from having an 1920×1080 HiDPI mode.
