The M1 chip is one of the revolutionary new features that Apple introduced this year. The Cupertino company dared to abandon Intel to embark on its own design of its processor. While this is good news for users who have gained in performance, Apple’s first chip is not entirely perfect. A new bug (which annoys many users around the world) will soon be resolved.
M1 chip and ultralarge external displays conflict
It is in a document d’assistance that Apple recognizes for the first time that the M1 chip has a problem with the screens external “ultra-wide” or “super-ultra-wide”. In fact, owners of new Mac M1s are faced with difficulties when it comes to selecting certain resolutions supported by the screen. If it is ready to display the resolution, the situation gets stuck with the Apple M1 chip which it block switching to the selected resolution.
Apple engineers thoroughly investigated the anomaly in early December and concluded that there was indeed a malfunction that could (luckily) be fixed fairly quickly.
On the support document, we can see the following note:
If you connect an ultra-wide or super-ultra-wide monitor to your Mac with the Apple M1 chip, some resolutions supported by your display may not be available.
Apple is aware of this issue and a resolution is planned for a future macOS update.

Apple explains that it is very easy to see the resolutions additional for your external display. For that, direction your Mac. You just have to go to the menu then go to System Preferences. You will find the icon “Displays“, click on it, then do a appui long on the key Option at the same time as you click Ladder. The list of additional resolutions for your external display will appear immediately.
The Cupertino company did not mention any date for the provision of the update that will correct this bug. If you are concerned, you will have to have a little patience since with the end of the year holidays, the work around future macOS updates must be slightly lower. slow motion…
To note that the first beta of macOS 11.2 was released last week, so it’s likely that future betas will fix this bug. Obviously, it is advisable to wait for the official version macOS 11.2 before updating your Mac. Installing a beta on a Mac where you work every day is far from the idea of the century.
