Unable to use external monitor's full resolution using Macbook Pro I recently bought a new 2019 MacBook Pro. It working as expected. I use my HP 22Es for majority of my work. Very unfortunately, my MBP is unable to detect the 1920x1080 resolution of external display. 

I did some research and came to know about SwitchResX and some information about EDID data. I tried everything I could. But still there are limitations like Disabling the System Integrity protection etc!!

I wonder if some has a easy to read guide or a blog post! It would be great help.

My configuration is like below:


Mac - MacBook Pro 2019, 13 Inch, TouchBar
OS - MacOS Mojave
External Display - HP 22ES
Display Adapter - Apple's USB Thunderbolt to HDMI converter
I use Belkin's HDMI to HDMI converter
Dude, i can tell you from personal experience; after buying four different usb-c hdmi adapters that the ONLY adapter that enabled me to utilize my external monitor full resolution + high refresh rate without having to hack internal /System/Library code or messing with SwitchResX/other b.s. GUI garbage;
is the belkin usb-c to hdmi adapter (the white version, do not use the old-black version -- its got terrible refresh rates). I also have apple's usb-c dongle (hdmi,usb-c,usb-a)[but it's utter garbage...] (didnt work); neither did the belkin black; nor did some other 'KANEX'-brand crap that i stumbled upon while cruising down a local shopping-mall. MBP 15" latest model i9's and what not (all the bells and whistles...); external monitor is an LG-4K 27" (supports real high res).
hope it helps

This one doesn't give you refresh rates higher then 30Hz(despite what it says on the website)

this one does :
