The 'Mid-2009' and 'Mid-2010' MacBook Pro models support 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs and officially and unofficially support a maximum of 8 GB of RAM with one odd exception. The 8Gb limit seems to be an Apple supported limit, but many people happily report getting 16Gb working fine - see the memory section in the link as well as this page for details. That monitor is effectively 2 displays and the 13' MBP is driving it as best as it is capable of.To pick a random 13' MBP, such as this one from mid 2012: So it's no small wonder the 16' MBP can handle that monitor. See the difference? The 13' can drive 2 external displays at a reduced resolution while the 16' can drive 2 displays at 6k each. *In addition to simultaneous support of the internal display, this model supports a maximum resolution up to 6016x3384 at 60 Hz at over a billion colors on up to two external displays or up to 4096x2304 resolution at 60 Hz at over a billion colors on up to four external displays via Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C). *In addition to simultaneous support of the internal display, this model supports a single external display up to 5120x2880 at 60Hz at over a billion color, up to two displays up to 4096x2304 at 60Hz at millions of colors, or up to two displays up to 3840x2160 at 60Hz at over a billion colors via Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C). Here's what EveryMac has to say about the 13' 2019 MBP: They aren't supposed to help you, but point out that this isn't an isolated problem. Have anyone else had luck with this? Any suggestions? I have confirmed both by plugging it in and using the same cable I use on my 13'' Macbook Pro 2019.ĭoes anyone know if this is achievable and/or possible? Is Apple's spec sheet lying about its capabilities? I've tried those override apps for selecting custom resolutions and all that does is scale to the resolution and makes everything look horrible. The monitor can achieve its full resolution with no issues on a Macbook Pro 16'' and a windows machine. I am unable to achieve anywhere near that and max out at 3840 x 1080. I don't get an option for its native resolution of 5120 x 1440.Īpple's website states that the 2019 Macbook Pro 13'' can achieve one display with 5120‑by‑2880 resolution at 60Hz. My Macbook Pro can only get the display to 3840 x 1080. I am using the one and only cable that Apple sells on its own website by Moshi that is capable of 5K resolution. I've got a 2019 Macbook Pro 13'' and have it plugged into a 49' CRG9 Dual QHD Curved QLED Gaming Monitor (model number LC49RG90SSNXZA).
