)įollowup - I took a 43' LG to Melrose Mac and plugged it into their Mac Studio using HDMI. (Or if someone with a Mac Studio is in the Hollywood area and wants to stop by. In the next day or two (before my 14 day return window closes), I'm going to take one of these monitors to Melrose Mac (where I bought the USB-C to Display Port cable) and see if their Mac Studio gives the same results, just to be sure this isn't a defect in my particular Mac. I'm curious if this is just an LG issue, or whether all large monitors with have the same issue if HDMI cables are used. If nothing else, I appreciate frame rates more than I did before, and I wonder if this is what people are talking about when they say regular TVs won't be as fast as dedicated computer monitors. But I guess there's more going on behind the scenes than just the math we see on the surface. Seems weird that the difference between a 30hz refresh rate and 60hz would make that much of a difference, because the mathematic difference between 30hz and 60hz is only a half frame, yet the lag I was seeing was at least 2 or 3 frames. Note that with M1 Mac Mini, it was perfectly happy with HDMI cables and 60hz was no problem. With USB-C cables (I've also now tested USB-C to Display Port cables with the older LGs), you can do 60hz, and that makes all the difference.

It turns out that with a Mac Studio plugged into these 43' LG monitors, if you use HDMI cables, then the refresh rate won't go higher than 30hz. Success! So then I tried an HDMI cable, just to compare. That monitor includes a USB-C cable (mostly the same as Thunderbolt 4), so I tried that instead of HDMI. I have a newer 43' LG (43UN700) in Studio B, so I thought maybe the electronics in that one might be more up to date and more compatible with the Mac Studio. So I realized it must be my monitors, so I brought the Mac Studio back here. the screen response is perfect! Nice and snappy. (My fear was that the tech guy wouldn't notice a 1/10 second lag and would think it's already fixed.) So he plugs in a little 22' monitor and. I asked the guy if they had a monitor there, so I could show him the screen lag. Same problem, with either LG monitor.Ī few hours with Mac support (mostly reinstalling Monterrey and a bunch of other reset tricks) didn't help, so they sent me to the Genius Bar. Just to be sure it wasn't bad cables or something, I even used the same HDMI cables into the same ports as I had been using with the Mac Mini and Pro.

The same monitors (I have two identical LG 43UD79 monitors in this room) work perfectly with the 2013 Mac Pro and and my M1 Mac Mini, so this was weird that a newer computer would be so much slower. This was especially apparent if I quick-dragged a window (a Safari window, for instance) to the left or right, where I could hear my mouse drag on the desk a fraction of a second before seeing the move on my screen. Maybe 1/10 second lag behind my mouse moves. so exciting!īut I starting noticing that the screen reaction was sluggish. one computer and no need for external drives. My shiny new Mac Studio (Max) arrived last Friday (a month ahead of schedule) and I did the Migration Assistant thing so that this will be my one computer, instead of going back and forth between two computers: a Mac Mini for email and personal stuff and Mac Pro for pro stuff.
