Few years back I had a MacBook pro 2019 and an old ultra wide LG screen with resolution 25:9 and HDMI only input. Apparently, official Apple's USB to HDMI connector cannot handle screen resolution 2560*1080 at that time.

Thing that was possible at 300$ windows laptop cannot be done on 2500$ machine with 60$ connector.

I had a 2019 MBP, and it worked fine with my LG 5K ultrawide at full resolution (5120x2160).

I would check your HDMI cable (not all hdmi cables support the resolutions you want), but mine worked perfectly fine using a USB-C thunderbolt 3 cable, as well as an USB-C to DisplayPort cable.

Because if you agreed to pay $2500 anyway, you can agree to pay for an upgrade!

Apple is in the business of selling you hardware, specifically premium hardware. Think car dealership.

And Dell is not in that business? Or Lenovo?

People agree to pay ridiculous prices for memory or apple connectors - why not to charge them maximum?
