vamose Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Everything in the Hackintosh works perfectly, even the iMessage, air drop, hands off. The only challenge is the dual monitor. 2 monitor attached, Samsung U28D590 (SwithchResX4 - L28S590 (2) set to 2560 x 1440, maximum Nvidia Quadro Capability ) Display & LG 25UM58 (SwithchResX4 - L28S590 (1) - set to 1920x1080 - need help to increase the display resolution to 2560x1080) Initially I could not get any thing out on the LG monitor. Went thorugh multiple forums. Tried SwitchResX, Enabled / Disabled windows 8 option in Bios OSM, changed SMBIOS, nothing worked. The only thing that worked for me was the Inject EDID in clover. ANot the perfect solution though as I cannot get the desired resolution of 2560x1080 for the LG monitor. My system is not recognizing my LG monitor. The only monitor recognized is the Samsung. Can any one help, all the details in the attached pdf file.

vamose Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Thanks for your prompt response. I have DVI-D connector, pic attached. No issues with injecting EEID, but in my case both the monitor have identical EEID. How do I locate EEID of each monitor.

vamose Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Thanks for your response, but I am unable to understand, it seems I need an instance of Linux running to obtain EDID. Is there an MAC app that I can download to obtain EDID. I appreciate your help and request for easy quick fix. Also, my monitory goes through a blackout cycle every 2 minutes, auto on off flicker.
