    Recently got a M2 Macbook Air running Parallels 19.3.0. Everything is RUNNING great, but my Win 11 Pro VM only has options for 16:10 resolutions, even though I have a external 16:9 4k monitor attached. I have not found any way to set the real resolution of this (external) monitor, resulting in black sidebars.

    Any ideas?

    I was able to fix this easily by re-installing Parallels Tools WITH the external monitor connected. That added many more 16:9 resolutions to choose from.
