Apple has acknowledged that there are problems with computers with an Apple M1 processor when using ultrawid monitors e, where the computers are not able to recognize the native resolution of the screen and are displayed as incorrect, so they are developing a patch to solve this problem that can affect many users, especially those who use a Mac Mini, as this is the only M1 processor computer that does not have an integrated display.

In any case, as Apple mentions in one of the shortest support articles the company has released in a long time, There is a way to work with our monitor , and it is that, although a solution is expected in a future update of macOS, we can enter the system preferences, click on the screen menu, and hold down the Option key while pressing Scaling, something that should show us more resolutions available for our monitor.

In any case, there will be many users who will have to resign themselves to using the wrong screen resolution or simply not using an external monitor , which can hurt the productivity of some users.
