Repeat steps 2-3 for other displays if required. When I uninstall SwitchResX, it seems to undo the set though. If I do that, I am at the right resolution and no resolution shows up as selected in Display Preferences.

You can play with the resolutions for the Packed Pixels which is probably listed as Color LCD (2). de 2020 SwitchResX this utility allows to use custom screen resolutions when an external monitor is connected. I was hoping this is a simple solution to connect to a my MacBook Pro to a dock and use monitors that I have set up separately.
