Well, that's okay, isn't it?

It looks for me like unmaintained hw

But this is a specific hw - a display. Their firmwares are simple and are not supposed to be updated regurarly.

They are only updated when an issue (implementation bug usually) has been found and fixed.

If you and other people have no issues, then no updates will come out. The lack of updates does not necessary mean that this is unmaintained.

For example the last FW update for XDR displays came out in 2020, just a year after the launch.

I just a got a pair of used 5k Ultrafines to run with my M1 Air and M1 MBP (one at a time each).
Both laptops are running Mac OS 26 Beta 4 - can't seem to get over 3840 * 2160 on either laptop.

Already updated both monitors to the latest firmware (3.10).

Does this look correct, shouldn't it go upto 5120 x 2880? Am I missing something?

Link speed should be 40 Gb/s. What kind of cables are you using?

I was fairly certain these are TB3 cables - but I can test with a new cable and report back.
Ordering a new one now.
