Hi there, thank you for reaching out with your question about your 45GX950A-B.AUS monitor and M1 MacBook Pro compatibility. We understand your situation and want to ensure you can enjoy the full capabilities of both devices. The LG 45GX950A‑B.AUS includes a USB‑C port with native DisplayPort Alternate Mode and up to 90 W power delivery via the supplied USB‑C cable. This means you can connect your M1 MacBook Pro to the LG monitor over Thunderbolt/USB‑C and run it at its native 5120 × 2160 resolution (up to 60 Hz). Troubleshooting Step: If your MacBook Pro doesn’t immediately detect the monitor, please: Confirm the included USB‑C cable is firmly connected to your Mac’s Thunderbolt port and the monitor’s USB‑C port. On your Mac, go to System Settings > Displays, hold down Option, then click Detect Displays. Select the LG 45GX950A-B in the display list and choose 5120 × 2160 at 60 Hz. For higher refresh rates (up to 165 Hz), use a USB‑C to DisplayPort cable into the monitor’s DisplayPort 2.1 input. https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-45gx950a-b-gaming-monitor#pdp_specs If you’d like personalized assistance configuring your setup 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.
