macOS 27 Golden Gate Gains Native Ultrawide Display Support

Apple adds native ultrawide display support in macOS 27 Golden Gate, bringing higher resolutions and persistent display arrangements to users of widescreen monitors.

The update allows ultrawide displays to run at resolutions up to 5K at 120Hz. Apple also says that display arrangements are now preserved across connections, so the layout automatically restores exactly as the user left it each time they plug in.

The feature addresses a longstanding pain point for Mac users with ultrawide setups, who previously had to work around limited native resolution options or manually reconfigure their display arrangements after each connection.

macOS 27 Golden Gate is expected to ship to the public this fall. It is available to developers in beta now.

Someone should create a 4 or 5k wallpaper from that beautiful image. When it showed in the keynote I thought it would be the official wallpaper... was deceived when I realized it won't be the official one :/
Here's my capture from the keynote. Both 5k and 4k. I exported at 95% jpeg quality to make the file sizes smaller.

Golden Gate looks so great, I'm delighted.

They basically walked back all of Dye's reckless posturing.

I adore the Finder now compared with Tahoe, also corners are way better, plus all these low level fixes?!

The attention and polish, as someone with like 10k worth of Apple computers hook it to my veins. Love it.
