Rescued My iPad's Sidecar Resolution!

I cannot express how grateful I am for this app! It came to my rescue when I was struggling with my iPad's resolution while using Sidecar. The problem was that the resolution was high, but the aspect ratio was all wrong, making the text too tiny to read comfortably.

I tried several other apps and methods to fix my issue in vain, hoping to find a solution, but nothing worked quite like this one. Not only did it effortlessly correct the aspect ratio issue, but it also maintained the pixel density at 2x, ensuring that my iPad's beautiful Retina display was rendered flawlessly.

Now, using my iPad with Sidecar is an absolute pleasure. The clarity and readability have improved tenfold, and I can finally make the most out of my iPad's stunning display. This app deserves nothing less than a perfect 5-star rating. It was the only method that worked, and I can't thank the developers enough for creating such a fantastic solution!

Great simple app to get resolution you can’t normally get

This app is just pefect for what it does.

I just bought the LG5k for my MBP 15” touchbar, but could not get higher than 3200x1800 from the default system display pref. Spent 1:30 hour with apple customer support, they did not know why, went to the store, tested with their LG5k monitor and they could not understand why I could not get the full 5120 * 2880. After installing this app, it became obvious that nothing was wrong with the monitor or macbook, but more that Apple decided to not offer over 3200x1800 res for those monitors (offering only the “retina” options). With this app, you can get access to all possible resolutions of your monitor including the 5120 * 2880 (I settled for the one level down 4096 * 2304, as the full 5k is a little bit too small for me on a 27” monitor).

You can even put my laptop monitor at full 3360 * 2100.

Anyway, great app, and best of all free. Not sure what other apps can do better.

Thank you Chris!

You saved me!

I have a 3840x1080 UW and sometimes I like to split my monitor to 1920x1080 on two computers when I'm working. I was using cscreen for this, but Big Sur nerfed it and it no longer allowed me to use a nonstandard resolution. EasyRes allows me to very quickly go back and forth from using half of my monitor during the work day and the full UW screen in the evening.

I know I sound like an ad for EasyRes, but you have no idea how frustrated I was spending half of my day trying to figure out a way to do this after updating to Big Sur!
