Hi,

I have some Mac Minis that are only ever used via Apple Remote Desktop. Unfortunately every time someone connects to them they display 4K resolution which borderline unusable and the person has to more or less blindly change the setting to something better. Is there any way to force the minis to permanently use a different resolution, as it is changed back to 4K every time.

Thanks for the help.

@Andixon A common solution for this problem is to plug in an adapter that makes the remote mini think it has a display connected. Do a search for "HDMI Dummy Plug" on your favorite online computer components vendor and you should find lots of options.
