Yes, the Samsung Odyssey BG65 32" Curved QHD Monitor should work with an Apple MacBook Pro 16" with the M2 Pro chip, but there are a few considerations to keep in mind: 1. Connectivity The Odyssey BG65 has both DisplayPort and HDMI inputs. Since the MacBook Pro M2 models primarily use Thunderbolt/USB-C ports, you’ll need an adapter or cable to connect your MacBook to the monitor. For HDMI: You’ll need a USB-C to HDMI adapter or a USB-C to HDMI cable. Ensure it supports 240Hz at the monitor’s resolution for optimal performance. For DisplayPort: If you prefer DisplayPort, you’ll need a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter or cable. 2. Resolution and Refresh Rate The MacBook Pro M2 can handle high resolutions, but macOS generally limits refresh rates to 60Hz on external displays when using HDMI. For higher refresh rates like the monitor’s 240Hz, using a DisplayPort connection is usually recommended. However, macOS may still restrict refresh rates, as the high-refresh gaming features of the Odyssey BG65 are geared toward systems that support 240Hz output. 3. Adaptive Sync and HDR While the monitor supports FreeSync Premium Pro, this feature is designed for AMD GPUs and is unlikely to work with macOS. However, the monitor will still display games and media beautifully, even without adaptive sync. HDR600 should work with macOS, but HDR performance may vary based on the app or content, as macOS’s HDR support can be less consistent than Windows-based systems. Summary With the appropriate adapter or cable, your MacBook Pro 16" with the M2 Pro chip should be able to connect to the Samsung Odyssey BG65. You’ll enjoy the monitor’s high resolution, curved screen, and HDR capabilities, though high refresh rates may be capped due to macOS limitations.
