Cant get Dual Screen work on my 2017 iMac

PostSat Jan 30, 2021 7:19 am

Hello guys,
I'm new to DaVinci and after installing now got stuck.

I use a 2017 iMac (18.3) with 24GB Ram and have a Samsung Syncmaster SA850T as a 2nd monitor connected via "T3 to DVI" cable. The Samsung works perfect.

I installed the latest DaVinci 16.2.8 version but Workplace-Dual Screen-On was always greyed out.
I tried the fixed in the forums by changing GPU modes but nothing helped.

So I upgraded finally to the latest Resolve 17 only to find that Workplace-Dual Screen-On is still greyed out.

However in Resolve 16 and 17 I can switch the Primary Display from iMac to SMS27A850T wich is the Samsung monitor and all is then transferred perfectly.

I just cant figure out WHY Dualscreen ON is greyed out and I cannot use it.
