Hello

I have 2 MacBook: 2015 and 2008.

I use external Monitor with 2015. Lids are closed on both laptops.

I am connecting from 2015 to 2008 using Finder and than Share screen option.

When I get into 2008 the screen is not Full and ‘Scale on’ feature does not make a difference.

Note: using VNC from 2015 I don’t have the issue and screen is full but I prefer to use Finder because I think it’s more ‘correct ‘ way to communicate between 2 MacBook.

Could someone help me to fix the issue and have Full screen on 2008 using Finder?

Thanks
 
Hey Folks,
I talked to Apple support and they explained me that the issue is caused by different displays resolution numbers between 2008 and 'external Monitor ' connected to 2015.
Would you buy it?
I doubt it’s the reason.
I still think it should be capable to take the Full screen anyway....
What do you think?
Thanks
 
Well ... additional investigation revealed that difference in resolution between both MacBooks 'really' is the issue.
I think I'll 'live with it now' :)
