Does this mean we will no longer have Black Bars, Letterbox when connecting the iPad to an external monitor for all APPS ? Has the Black Stigma of the iPad having Black Bars gone already ?? is it a thing of the past now ?
Got a tip for us?

I just wish I could use this on my 24” iMac. Maybe they can update sidecar / universal control to take advantage of this?
It's not working for my M1 iPad Pro...When I plug it in it just mirrors and has the black bars to the side...
All working as intended for me, I’m running the Dev Beta now on my M1 iPP, connected to an Apple Studio Display, using Stage manager, no black bars, all working extremely well.
So can you use the webcam on the Studio Display instead of the one on the iPad? (Although the camera quality on the iPad may be better than the one on the display, the latter is better positioned so that you can look into the camera without looking down.)
External monitor support is great! I have a Kensington StudioDock with a built-in HDMI port. So I’m able to charge up my iPad while adding a ton of extra workspace.
To people who are now already using iPad OS 16 developer beta
Does the iPad the moment you connect to an external display show like a full screen on an external monitor like starting even the Home Screen ( Dock Area) or does it show full screen only in specific APPS ?
Does it work well even with other all third Party Brands like Dell, LG Monitors etc ?

I’m not sure I understand your question correctly. But when you plug in a monitor, the iPad doesn’t change at all. And my monitor fills with my iPad wallpaper with no icons at all (Cuz you couldn’t place any icons there).
I’m using a generic 24” Element 1080p monitor, not an Apple monitor.
Dose this mean that it works with HDMI and not just USBC monitors? Dose it also work with hubs/docks?
Yeah, I’ve been using an HDMI monitor. My Kensington StudioDock has an HDMI port but I‘m guessing you could probably just use an HDMI to USB-C adapter.
External monitor support is a bit buggy. Doesn't work that great on my Samsung CRG9 Ultrawide. Going to try it on a standard 1080 display at the office, which I'm sure will be fine!
With the advent of functional extended display support, and the ability to use keyboards & pointing devices (mouse/trackpad) with iPadOS 16/M1 iPads (Air/Pro), I would LOVE to see World of Warcraft for iPadOS; this is the only thing keeping me from moving to an all-iPad Pro computing experience...!
I was having earlier Hangover lol ! I was asking from a iPad Mirroring point of view. I did not realize that now you can use the iPad as just a Mac. So if you attach it to a Monitor you have a Full Screen on Monitor to work on the iPad right ? And what about if you want to Mirror your iPad even then it takes Full Screen on the Monitor or no ?
