How do I get the Odyssey G9 to not look stretched? Connected to MacBook Pro.

[Rockyyy]

I just unboxed the Odyssey G9 and hooked it up to my MacBook Pro.  I've tried every setting I can think of, but it still appears really stretched all over everything I drag up to the Odyssey.  How do I fix this?  I'm assuming it's something really simple, but I just can't figure it out.  Thank you!

Are you using a USB-C to DP cable?  This works for most people.

Response from a friendly AI:

Here are some steps you can take to set up an ultrawide monitor with a MacBook Pro:

1. Connect the monitor to your Mac using a cable
2. Go to System Settings
3. Click Displays in the sidebar
4. Select the display you want to adjust
5. Click the Arrangement tab and choose your setup
6. Select the resolution you want to use

I was using a UCB-C to HDMI.  However, I ordered a USB-C to DP cable, so hopefully that will solve it!

Which version DP did you order?

I got in the new cable and just tried it out.  That was it!  Simple as that.  I got a 1.4 USB-C to DP.  No stretching.

I really wish they would have included instructions or a simple message to do that.  It would have saved so much time and headaches.
