- Comment: Loaded with a black screen on first startup, with only audible music. Pressing cmd+f successfully switched to windowed mode, after which settings worked. However, 1080p (which should fit below the notch), gives a black screen and 1728x1117 needs to be scaled to fit under the notch, meaning narrow black bars on the top and sides of the screen.
