Hello there, thank you for reaching out with your question about your 45GX950A-B.AUS. We understand your situation regarding MacBook Pro compatibility. The LG UltraGear 45GX950A-B.AUS is equipped with a USB‑C port supporting 90 W Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode, plus HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 inputs, making it fully compatible with MacBook Pro models (M1, M2, M4) over a single Thunderbolt (USB‑C) cable. Troubleshooting Step: If your MacBook Pro doesn’t immediately detect the monitor, please confirm that your Thunderbolt/USB‑C cable is firmly seated and then: Open System Settings > Displays. Press and hold Option and click Detect Displays. Select the USB‑C input and set the resolution to 5K2K (5120×2160) at 165 Hz. You can also connect via HDMI 2.1 using a high‑speed HDMI cable, though USB‑C offers the most streamlined, single‑cable experience with power delivery. https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-45gx950a-b-gaming-monitor#pdp_specs If you’d like personalized assistance configuring your MacBook Pro with this monitor or have any other questions, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport and our team will be more than happy to explore possible solutions.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Runs awesome on my Mac. Macs have issues with certain sizes and resolutions, that’s why Apple uses 5k displays instead of 4k, which this monitor happens to be. It looks great with good scaling.
