Essentiallyin the morning I walk to the mac ... tap the keyboard which wakes and unlocks the mac with Apple Watch.. then start using my picture by picture monitors for work. No fiddling. Left side Citrix.. right side Office 365.
Everything is working just amazing and it looks and feels amazing. I'm hoping I can possibly remove the SwitchResX in the future, but to be honest it solved a problem I had with doing remote meetings and NOT being able to share my screen (because the resolution is too high, and SwitchResX allows me to do that on the fly).
I ordered a Maxonar DisplayPort to USB-C cable from Amazon, which supports DP 1.4. 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 had to change the refresh rate setting on my monitor from 120hz to 60hz and turn off Freesync. That is when I was finally able to get 5120 x 1440 (low resolution).
Hey all, my setup has the Samsung G9 with the M1 Mac Mini, and a desktop PC with an RTX2070. Watching some youtube vids, i made sure to buy a direct DisplayPort to USB-C cable that supported 1.4. I thought that would solve the issue, however, i still had to do some tinkering, although i think you'll still need a direct cable with DP 1.4 support for this to work.
Before playing around with the settings on the computers and the monitor, switching around and wake from sleep bugging out on the Mac Mini was really annoying. Even with the 1.4 direct DP > USB-C cable.
I was finally able to get full 5120 x 1440 and solved the monitor not waking up after going to sleep. I tried the Cable Matters Display Port DisplayPort to USB-Cable and the adapter. However, the one that I found to work the best was the Maxonar DisplayPort to USB-C cable from Amazon.
To get full 5120 x 1440, I changed the DP settings from 1.4 to 1.2 on the 49" CRG9 monitor. Also under System Preferences on the mac there is hidden display option. System Preferences -> Displays-> Press and hold the Option key on the keyboard (that will bring up Detect Displays -> Click Detect Displays.
Later, I tried using the Apple USB-c cable to connect the MacBook to the USB-c hub in the monitor, and get some power etc. As soon as I had the Apple cable connection from the monitor to the MacBook, the monitor reset, and since then has only been able to see 3840 x 1080. Restarts, and power off's have not changed this.
Strange thing. Quickly ordered the CableMatters DP Cable from Amazon. Switched to DP 1.4 and it worked (even after a reboot) but it raised a new issue. Since I used the Cable my monitor will display the connected port in the OSD every 5 seconds. Very annoying so I used my original cable. Well I expected that I have to use DP 1.2 again but no it still works. The whole DP thing ist still somewhat wonky. Dunno if it is due to the fact that I updated to 11.3
I had two choices that were in the range of what I needed to be able to see, the first one where you can see and read the fonts, but they looked like windows 95 fonts from the pre-true type era, and the very next step in magnification made the text look smooth, but it was so blown up that literally every panel in Lightroom had a scroll bar, and desktop icons were fist sized.
I don't remember what the "pretend" resolutions were since I sent the machine back, and it really doesn't matter who has managed to get something usable for themselves. I could not, any many others can't either, and it makes even less sense when these products are marketed as a "luxury" product that "just works" when something as simple as display compatibility is an issue like this at a fundamental level.
Sadly my best solution to everything has been buying the Calidigit TS3 Plus dock. For whatever reason using their displayport on the dock solves all my wakeup issues and random monitor shutdowns. Mac mini m1 + Samsung g9 @ 5120x1440 @120hz.
It's not solved. I have the same setup and it worked perfect for about 2 days, then it was monitor wakeup issues every time and the monitor would randomly disconnect even without putting the machine asleep. At best, SwitchResX + an 8k usbc to dp cable is a finicky solution. What did end up working for me with consistently is using the CaliDigit TS3 Plus dock, but having to spend another $220 is a real hassle.
Agreed. Same here it works fine for me. Only "issue" if you want call it so, is that the Monitor wakes up late during a reboot or boot. Wakes up when already reached the desktop. No big deal I'm not keen to see the loading bar. On the other hand no issues when waking up from sleep, no diconnects or whatsoever. Although I have to use Switchresx, without it I get only Low Res Picture (running 120Hz)
Yeah I'm in the same boat of only getting switchResX to work along with that 8k usb to dp cable. Recently ordered a CaliDigit TS3 Plus dock and hoping this works as it seems to have worked for you. kinda sucks (disappointing they don't let you say s u c k s ) that I had to freaking spend $220 to get my two high end products to ******* talk to one another on a frequent and consistent basis, but if that's what it takes then fine... its a business expense anyways, but its still not ideal.
When showing low resolution modes (not HiDPI) in the Displays preferences panel, the native resolution (5120x1440 in your case) usually does not have the " (low resolution)" suffix even though it is not a HiDPI mode.
The 5120x1440 can't exist as a HiDPI mode unless your GPU supports a 10240x2880 scaled mode. Some GPUs can support scaled modes beyond 8K for displays that use two DisplayPort signals, such as the LG UltraFine 5K or Dell UP2715K.
I am running an LG 49WL95C-W with a 2017 MBP and get full resolution (5120x1440 @ 60HZ) via type-c only. I have been looking at the M1 Mini but came across this thread and obviously have concerns digging through all the posts.
That's not a solution for most of us. I don't see 5120x1440 as an option in that menu, and even with SwitchResX there's tons of wake up issues from sleep and random disconnects even with actively using the monitor. Mac mini 16gb + Samsung g9
Exactly. So far the solution Davbit gave of using that 8k usb c to DP cable , plus SwitchResX, being on MacOS 11.1+, and having to get the CaliDigit TS3 Plus dock has been the only thing to make this a consistent and reliable setup.
I've got 5120x1440 @ 120HZ working out of the box with a Cable Matters USB-C to DP adapter + Cable Matters 8K DP cable that I've linked on the first page or two. This is with an AOC AGON 49" ultrawide.
I haven't seen anyone with a Samsung G9 succeed out of the box and everyone I know with an AOC AGON is working fine, so depending on if your LG is more like the Samsung or the AOC is going to determine your success.
I finally got it working... although I have been other threads with M1 getting update soon, on this monitor you need to change the on the Monitor->Quick press the main button (bottom right) to bring mani menu-> Toggle Up-> Select "Menu"-> Select "System" -> Select "DisplayPort Ver." and change it to "1.2" - its usually on 1.4 (1.1 only goes to 4k).. hopefully with the update (next Mac OS update maybe 11.11? 11.2?) the newer 1.4 version will be supported, this is just a software / driver issue. See screenshot attached with M1 Mac using 5K. Note: I switched back and forward between my Intel Mac and my new M1 to get the setting changed over but once set, it stays
I have the Arcadyan KVD21 Gateway and a Canon PIXMA TR4520 printer. I have tried multiple methods to connect the printer to the T-Mobile wifi network and am still unsuccessful. Currently, I am attempting setup using the Canon Wi-Fi Connection Assistant. In Network Settings, the T-Mobile network encryption type shows up as Do Not Use. Is there a way to change the encryption type on the network? Would that enable the printer to access the T-Mobile wifi? Any and all suggestion welcome. I have tried T-Mobile tech support, but they cannot help, saying it's a printer issue.
Trying to connect my Canon PIXMA MX492 printer to the gateway. On the solution offered above we're told to enter the "access point name" on the printer setup. Is this the same as the gateway network name? If not, where do I find the access point name?
All is well, now. I followed the suggestions and, finally, my network name appeared on my printer. I selected it and was then prompted for the password. It was then connected to my network. Hallelujah!!
I also have a Canon PIXMA MX492 and am having the same problem you mentioned above. The printer finds my network but never asks for a password and doesn't connect. Wondering if you ever found a solution that worked?
OMG, thank you so much SSW! After hours of stress, I Followed your instructions and had my printer working in no time! Now to find the best security for my WiFi and devices. All Apple, with T-Mobile WF. Any suggestions appreciated!
So I did the above mentioned - My printer find the network but does not allow me to enter a password (mind you if I pick any other network listed when I search they all pop up for a password prompt) anyone have any idea?
Im just facing an "issue" I did not expect. Up to last saturday I used 3x 27" monitors for flying with a total resolution of 7680x1440. On a black friday sale I was able to shoot a Samsung Odyssey G9 49" display with a resolution of 5120x1440. So far so good, the 3 monitors took a lot of space on my office desk and this has been solved now. Additionally the bezels are gone as well which makes the flying even more "realistic" and gives a very good overall feeling.
Now to my point: for sure I expected a better performance as I reduced the resolution by 1/3. The opposite is the case. I did some benchmarks by comparing existing missions FPS wise and was totally disappointed doing so. I went from 51 to 42 FPS in one mission. So I lost 20%. WTF?
