    Is the "1st gen" LG Ultrafine 5k compatible with a 2015 macbook pro?

    New MacBook Pro / Monterey / LG UltraFine 5K / Resolution

    When connected to my 2016 MacBook Pro/BigSur, the display defaults to 5120 x 2880. When connected to a new 2021 MacBook Pro, 14", Monterey, the display defaults to 4096 x 2304. Anyone else seeing similar? Hoping it's user error.

    LG UltraFine 5K: Switching brightness control key combo

    I have an LG UltraFine 5K display connected to a 16" MBP, using a Logitech MX Keys keyboard. To adjust my MBP's display, I simply use the Logitech brightness keys, and to adjust my LG 5K's display, I do the same but hold down the Control key. Is there a way to reverse this? I'd like the Control...

    Can we connect both LG Ultrafine 5k and LG Ultrafine 4k to 2018 Mac Mini though thunderbolt 3, and use the native resolutions on both screens? My answer is no because in 2018 Mac Mini's Intel UHD 630 GPU, it only supports three display streams, and one is hard-wired to HDMI, and LG Ultrafine 5...

    LG UltraFine 5K & Mac Pro (Late 2013): 5K resolution showing in display preferences - is it 30Hz?

    Hello, My local Apple Store has LG UltraFine 5K monitor hooked to a Mac Pro (Late 2013) via TB3 to TB2 adapter running at 5120 x 2880 resolution. Based on my understanding from this forum, it is impossible to run 5K resolution via single TB2 output due to limited bandwidth of DisplayPort 1.2...
