How-to Get 5120x1440 Resolution on Apple M1 Mac - Samsung CRG9 Super Ultrawide Monitor + M1 Mac Mini

- This video will show you how to get full 5120x1440 resolution on your super ultrawide monitor and Apple M1 Mac (Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, Mac Mini). In this video, I am using the Maxonar USB-C to Displayport cable found here: amzn.to/3rf54BE
Full text tutorial: techmogulchann...
My setup:
Computer: 2020 Mac Mini M1 (amzn.to/3CxekXC)
Monitor: Samsung CRG9 (amzn.to/3tXaLGR)
Monitor arm: Ergotron HX (amzn.to/3hNRmDu)
Speakers: Audioengine A5+ (amzn.to/39oQIb2)
DAC: Audioenginer D1 (amzn.to/2XAUfQF)
Speakers stand: Kanto S6 (amzn.to/3Czsasb)
To fix the wake up issues, need the following: MacOS 11.2.3. Upgrade the firmware of the monitor to latest version (1007.2), use a VESA certified cable (as in the video) and make sure in the CRG9 menu DisplayPort 1.2 is chosen (not 1.4, doesnt work, dont know why, but took me a long time to troubleshoot). It works naively at 5440x1440 120Hz. For additional resolutions/scaling options press System Preferences -> Display -> Opt + Press Scaled. HDMI connection is capped to 3840x2160
I can confirm this works. I tested it for almost a week and the monitor woke up each time. To fix, go to "Settings" on your monitor and go down to "System" and go down to "DisplayPort Ver." and change it to "1.1" or "1.2" (I did not have the "1.2" option so I selected "1.1").
How can you upgrade the monitor firmware?

Any idea if it will work with the 57 inch 7,680 x 2,160 monitor?
What is that stand for the monitor? I want to get one
It’s an ergotron HD
what soft are you use on 2:12 ?
That’s the monitor settings menu.
Thanks for this! I was getting 2560x1880 without this cable and on a 49" ultrawide that was giving me a brain aneurysm every time I looked at it;) Works flawlessly on a Macbook Air M1.. :) Also got a call digit t4 element hub to allow for more expandability..
Did you notice any issue with the way the text looks once you use this resolution? Mines not very crisp, quite blurry, any ideas on how to fix that ?
Did you figure this out?
I've tried everything, but failed to get 5120x1440 Resolution on Apple M1 MacBook Pro M1 2021. Currently running on macOS Sonoma
Hello I have 2 questions . One is how do you fix the latency between the mouse and the screen . There seems to be a slower movements when using this screen . Two , I just purchase the g9 and the new firm wear and pop up menu is completely t different how would I navigate the new version to this exact thing because there are no option for you are saying to do.
Does this monitor not have USB-C? I only ask because I have a Dell 49" and was wondering if a USB-C to USB-C connection would work. Regarding the sleep issue...couldn't you just prevent the Mac mini from sleeping by turning that feature off?
I dont know wtf is wrong with Apple and Samsung.
I have 2 setups as below:
1) mac mini M1 + Samsung Oddessy G9 240Hz
2) mac mini M1 + Samsung CRG9 120Hz
1 is working well but 2 does not work even with no image, tried everything.
This cable does not work on oled 49 inch Samsung model just work in normal model
If you select the 3840 Scaled resolution and then go to System Report and check under Graphics/Displays what is the reported resolution?
What monitorarm are you using?
Subbed. Thanks for going through the trouble of uploading a video, now that I know it can work I feel more confident in making the purchases.
I just connected my m2 mbpro16 with Odyssey g9 using only HDMI from box of our tv. Thats all. But connected with m1 - resolution only 1080. With m2 1440 to 5k. Thats so simple. Finally apple was upgraded this function
Hey, I bought this cable and I am able to get max resolution now, but I have one thing that is bothering me, the text looks very pixelated, I literally can see the pixels and it’s so annoying, do you know how to fix this?(i use 2019MacBook pro)
so basically with this cable, I can get 5140 x 1440 at 144hz without using beta OS or downloading some custom app onto my MacBook dat right?
Yes, that's correct.
@@TechMogul How? You said in the video that it only supports 60hz at 5k res.?
Does this cable work for the M1 Macbook air as well?
Did you try this one yet?
@@cryptodoodler4603 yup confirmed works!!
I got them working, but after Mac mini went sleep, I can’t ever get the USB C to DisplayPort working again. Anyone else have the same issue?
My friend had 2 lg monitors, both the same problem.
This is very helpful, I have the exact same setup, Samsung CRG9 with the M1 Mac Mini. I purchased this same cable and it does work however I am experiencing a problem after the Mac Mini has been asleep. Even after disconnecting the cable and re-connecting, it takes a while for the monitor to recognize the connection. Have you found a fix for this?
Not yet, I am hoping a future update will correct this, but I will continue testing out different cables. Before the last update, I had to disconnect and reconnect the cable multiple times to get it to wake up from sleep but now I usually only have to do it once.
Did you face any thermal throttling when connected to this display.
I am planning to but M1 mac mini and connect two 4K displays. Will there be any perfomance drops when connected to multiples external displays.
I use an old macbook pro with 16GB of RAM. But when i connect it to external display and even watch a youtube video, the fans run at high speed and perfomance also drops.
Everything shrunk down when you went 5120x1440. Like so small you couldn’t read the system preferences anymore?
You can still easily read it - the monitor is crazy massive. It just looks small in the video because theres nothing for scale.
Thanks!
Can I get 240 Hz at 5120x1440, or only 120 Hz? (on g9 that supports 240Hz)
Do you know the answer?
@@kexstarqanswer is No. at 5120x1440 you can only get 120hz.
the newest HDMI 2.1 would only do that 120hz, (maybe 144, since that resolution is slightly lower than 4k), but maybe with DVI you could I haven't tried DVI
If you hold down the option key while selecting the display settings in the preferences and it will show the native resolution.
using that monitor on integrated graphics should be a crime
Why? Is it laggy?
It runs perfectly. The M1 does not heat up or have any fan noises either when running this monitor.
Man you totally answered my question.I’ve just connected my Mac Mini M2 to the same monitor and like you, was only seeing a 3840 X 1080p resolution. I knew is was linked to the limited bandwidth of the HDMI 2.0 port on the Mac,but it was nice to see it confirmed. Thank you.
Did it work for you now?
@@teddybanks3747 Yup. Like a charm.
Excellent! Running a Mac Studio and bought the CRG9 monitor and couldn't get it on 5120x1440. Found your video, ordered the cable and immediately got the better resolution at 100Hz, could then switch to 120Hz in Apple control panel.
I got an M1 Mac Mini and this cable on Prime Day, plugged it into my Viotek monitor, and it worked properly right off the bat 👍
what size is your viotek monitor? could you provide a link to it? Thank you :)
I just tried this (bought the cable) but I don't see the additional resolution options. Looks exactly the same as when I had HDMI. Defeats the purpose of the UW monitor if everything is pixelated. Any ideas before I return the monitor to Amazon? Thanks
Hey Mike, I'm having the same issue. Bought the same cable, did everything as explained in the tutorial and still the same.
Same for me. I just get larger text/more space for scaled. And the color isn't as vivid as HDMI. But on HDMI, I can't get the whole monitor screen filled.
Can i get 5120x1440 on a CRG9 connected to my imac pro 27" on Mojave ???
Someone pls advise. I have my MacBook Air with M1 and only have two USBCs
How do I make it work? Or will it even work!?
Thank you all
Hi ! Can you make the MAC MINI M2 Pro output 240Hz with maximum resolution of Samsung NEO G9 ?
I have the same monitor and same issue except I’m just using mine to game and can’t get 5120x1440 on 120hz I can only get 5120x1440 60hz what can I do to get 120hz with 5120x1440 resolution?
I bought this monitor and when I hook it up to my MacBook Air, the scaling is off and it’s difficult to read the font. Even when I change the resolution it’s still not easy to read. Anyone know a solution, please?
will this work on 2018 Mac Mini Core i7 3.2Ghz 8/256gb?
Everything you said worked except when I unplug and replug thunderbolt after computer goes to sleep. It is a struggle to get the M1 to see the display port again...often after a good nights sleep.Any suggestions?
Same here... I'm fed up...
Great tip to turn off FreeSync to enable choosing maximum resolution. Thank you!!
I feel like it looks washed out on mine. M1 pro 16" and 120hz. Cable Matters usb c to DP adapter
anyone know if HDMI 2.0 to DisplayPort 1.4 will support this res?
This is the same cable I'm using, and no matter what I do, I get the blue box up in the top left that tells you what input you just switched to blinking over and over. Plus, the scaling looks like complete garbage, fonts look like windows 95 pre-true type. I'm about ready to just send this fucking thing back, lol.
What arm are you using for that 49 inch monitor?
Looks like ERGOTRON HX Desk Monitor Arm
But unplugging is not a real solution. I have an LG ultrawide 5k2k monitor and the monitor is not waking up after the MacBook wakes up. Even when he wakes up, it’s either the wrong resolution or it takes over 30 sec. Only a restart of the MacBook helps.
At the highest resolution do you find that the font is too small and kind of blurry? I jut got an LG 49 inch widescreen and although I can get full resolution and 120 hz the font is too small and will hurt my eyes reading at that size all day. Thanks for the video.
Has anyone tried this solution with the base model MacBook Air M1 and this monitor? Thanks in advance for your time.
how do you read anything with that 5120x1440 ? any thing gets sooooooo painful tiny
Thank you very much for the information, it helped me, grateful to you.
Has anything changed with the release of the latest MacBook pro’s?
2:31 have the same issue with the apple cinema display 27" connected with mini display port to usb c adapter. Any fix so far? Unplugging works, just like yours.
I have the same issues with my g9 , currently have 2017 Mac air , idk if this would work with this , doesn't seems like its connecting , any suggestion or advice what I can do from here ? thank you
is it possible to get 240hz with the m1 mac mini and the G9?
Hey, does Mac Mini M1 run 5120x1140 @60Hz with HDMI cable now that Big Sur 11.2 is out?
Nope, I couldn't get the HDMI cable to work even while turning off FreeSync and changing to 60Hz.
@@TechMogul Dang, thats a bummer. Thanks a lot for trying!
Can I use this chord with the caldigit ts3 plus?
@@ebenezercommunitychurch-fr6988 Sorry, I do not have one to test out.
Is there any different if i use the macbook air M1?
I have the same monitor and mac mini tried numerous cables can’t get it working I ordered the cable You mention in the video will try it tomorrow .. apple says wait for next update from bug sur and that that monitor is notorious for issues ... by the way just tried the cable and it worked .. thanks for the heads up ... tried 6 cables previous to this.. the maxonar did the trick thanks
Do you have any scaling issues? The fonts look too blur for me on my Samsung G9 Odyssey.
I have a MacBook pro 13 inch 2020 (The intel one, 2 thunderbolt 3 ports with 1.4Ghz intel core i5) will I have the full 5120x1440 resolution with this cable connecting to my 49 inch LG ultrawide 49wl95c-w 60 hertz monitor? much appreciated
The Intel Macbook Pro should run full 5120x1440 just fine.
Does it have to be a display port can I use hdmi
Thanks for this. Curious to know if you're still experiencing issue where monitor doesn't power on
This cable will show a "Check Connection" prompt when using it in Picture by Picture mode with another display.
In order to get 5160x1440 you dont have to drop it manually to 60Hz. According to manual if you connect via displayport connector, it can easily produce 5160x1440 at 100 and 120 Hz.
That's what you had to do before they made some changes recently.. I guess you misunderstood that bit :)
is it possible to get 240hz with the m1 mac mini and the G9?
Does the work for a MacBook Laptop
my screen gets disconnected when ever i ouch the wire.. I don't know if its mac book air issue or the wire or the screen.. is this a common problem?
Since I am using a Mac Mini, I never move or touch the cable. However, I did just try moving the cable around and nothing happened. My screen did not get disconnected. I recommend trying a different cable.
What's the desk-mountable stand you're using?
Ergotron HX Desk Monitor Arm
What’s the max weight it can hold? Can it hold up a Samsung Odyssey G9?
19,1kg
@@TechMogul I bought it, and I love it, thanks :)
So if I want to play games or just have that smooth 120khz which my monitor supports, it´s not possible with mac mini m1? Is this an issue with macs only?
Bruv you need to actually watch the video.
I have grey menu here, when i install the cable. How fix ?
I have the same monitor on my intel.2020 mac mini. Question have you tried watching 4k.videos.on RUclips? They suck. I'm sure it's the gfx card
I just tried watching a couple 4K scenic videos on RUclips and they were good but they were not super sharp as you would expect from a 4k video.
how to get 5120x1440 240hz?
@joaquingamboa5429 did you ever find a solution?
@@kyambaddefrank5406 nop :(
So I was so excited to find your video. I bought the exact cord you suggested. I am on Big Sir 11.4. But when I open preferences, displays, I don't get the screen you do with different resolutions. Only larger text, more space under scaled. But under system info, It is 120 x 1440 @ 60.00Hz. AND the worst part for me is, I don't get the vibrant color that I did with the HDMI cable. Any more advice to get this right? I am a graphic artist and need that vivid pop color that HDMI gets. Any help appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Same issue with the display. Only getting the text size! Were you able to resolve this? Im reading through comments trying to find a solution.
Are you able to charge your M1 while connected to your monitor?
Dude, it's a desktop.
How do you find the pixel density vs say a LG 5k ultrafine?
Best monitor for coder..
Nice setup! Do a such big monitor suck much cpu and gpu?
Nope, the M1 Mac Mini handles it great.
There's no need to switch the Mac off when changing cables. Just unplug the HDMI and plug in the USB-c. Everything else happens automatically.
10.15.7 is not ok?
Would I be able to plug this shown adaptor cable into a usb-c hub and then run a Single usb-c cable to my MacBook for charging and Display combined (like it was intended)?
Ja, das geht, allerdings verstellt sich bei mir manchmal die Auflösung wenn ich das MacBook aus Sleep aufwecke.
Hi! I have a late 2013 macbook pro 15" and the exact same monitor as you. My mac runs the display with no issue, but the resolution. Do you know if I will be able to get full res if i buy this cable? or is it just for M1 macbooks. Thanks
When i am using the displayport cable that comes with the monitor, i cant get full res even if i turn down to 60hz, witch cable did you use? (same as you in the video)
I use HDMI to displayport (cable that comes with) and i can use thunderbolt to displayport
Hey man thanks for the vid. I bought the cable you recommended. I have the same monitor but a MacBook Pro M1. It worked great but for some reason I keep getting the input selection sign at the top left of the monitor repeatedly. Did you experience the same issue by any chance?
That's strange. I do not have this issue.
Did you solved this issue? I'm thinking about getting a MacBook Pro M1 but want to make sure it will work when I get it
@@nils42 Yes I did man! I literally had to buy 8 different kinds of cables just to see which one worked the best. This combination is what fixed the issue for me.

@@EverableMedSpaMarketing Does this adapter solve the issue where the monitor isn't recognized after sleep too, or just the input sign issue?
@@philcoffman197 I can't say with certainty but I personally have not had any issues with the monitor after sleep.
Did you find a solution for the "not waking up"? Also does your monitor flicker depending on the content that's being displayed?
A macOS update fixed all issues I had. I can wake up the computer normally now and my monitor does not flicker at all. Make sure you update to the latest macOS version.
@@TechMogul I’m on the latest version. Still have both issues.
What is the max refresh rate?
Let's see if this works....
Hi there, thanks for your review! I just bought the Samsung 49 inch Odyssey G9 and noticed the same resolution problem in your video. I will get the cable you recommended. My question is, in order to use the PBP (dual screen) do I need to use 2 HDMIs then connect them to a "universal dock" then connect the 2 HDMIs to my MacBook? I currently only have 1 HDMI connected to my Mac dongle and I can only get 1 side of the monitor to work. Appreciate any advice you can give!
You can't do that.
You need TWO computers to run dual monitors.
The computer only outputs it's signal to one monitor.
The dual setup is for two computers hooked up to one monitor.
@@dialecticalmonist3405 Actually you can. I figured it out a week ago. You have to use 2 HDMIs connected from the G9 to a OKX docking station, that connects to my MacBook Pro. The PBP worked fine, you have to toggle that in the G9 settings. For the resolution issue, I connected the Display Port from the G9 to the docking station, then connected that to my MacBook Pro. All works seamlessly now.
@@GoldKollector
I don't understand what you are saying.
You have two screens next to each other. These two screens are handled by one OS or two?
Are you running a virtual machine and somehow connecting that to the other screen?
I can't picture what is happening.
@@dialecticalmonist3405 I am using one computer, my MacBook Pro. By using 2 separate HDMI cords that connect at the back of the G9 monitor to a docking station then connecting the docking station to your MacBook, you're able to use the PBP functionality with 2 different screens on the G9 monitor.
@@GoldKollector
But why?
Won't that just show you two duplicate screens next to each other?
By the way, does changing the brightness and volume on the keyboard work on the Monitor?
The brightness keys on the keyboard doesn't work on external monitors but the volume keys does.
@@TechMogul Thanks! Have you tried Monitorcontrol? Supposedly it should work with that. github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl
So what is the maximum refresh rate did you achieve for 5120 x 1440 resolution? Is there a way to achieve 240hz while maintaining 5120 x 1440?
Mine only shows me 60hz refresh rate
120Hz max assuming you re connected via displayport. 240Hz is possible only with a more expensive G9 model that costs not $1,000 but $1,600. That one supports 240hz
Great & informative video! Btw: What kind of DAC/USB device is there next to your mac mini? Or is it a external soundcard? Thx
