No to this day, I still do not have the issue resolved, Apple has acknowledged the issue but since there have been a few OS updates since then I doubt it will ever be resolved.
But then again even if it was resolved, I do not think I would use it. Having the Dell 49" monitor act as 2 different "virtual" monitors is actually perfect. When using Skype's screen capture and similar software, it accurately sees 1 virtual monitor or the other, making them super easy to use. For all regular applications I can move each around between both monitors as you normally would. Programs like Magnet also see things perfectly. Photoshop and Video editing also works exactly as I would expect.
Even Apple Mission Control and Dock placement work properly. I can think of no reason at all to have my setup work as 1 single monitor instead of 2 virtual monitors. I'm sure there are probably some applications out there but none that I can think of.
Also: It has been 8 months since I have been using this setup and I'm really happy with the purchase. My only complaints, and these are minor, are :
- The connectors in the back of the monitor are impossible to get to and impossible to see unless I get on my hands and knees to loop up at it.
- The dual monitor issue in this thread requires that 2 cables be used to drive it instead of just 1, making for slightly messier cable management.
- The Mac mini seems to "forget" one of the 2 monitors when waking up from sleep mode sometimes, though this has not happened since the latest OS update.
Other than that the monitor is razor sharp, runs nice and cold, and looks drop-dead sexy on my desk. Very much worth the money.
