I have an old 2008 Macbook Pro (model 4,1) that I had connected to a Samsung 34" ultrawide monitor, filling the entire screen, connected via DVI out to HDMI into the display. Worked great! No configuration needed.

I am now trying to connect my new Acer Predator X34 ultrawide monitor the same way, and no matter what scale or settings I try, the monitor will not display full screen and utilize the widescreen like the samsung does. Can anyone help me with this? Currently, the X34 is connected and the only scaled resolution that works is 1080p, and it basically cuts off ~4.5" on both sides
