Hi all,
I just bought an LG 27UD88 27" monitor, as recommended in the Macrumor 4K Display buyers guide (here). This display has USB-C and is similar to the LG Ultrafine models in terms of specs and connectivity.
I am having issues with the display on a 2016" 13" MacBook Pro (non-touch bar). When connected via USB-C or HDMI, the MBP does not utilise the full display and there is a black border about 1 centimetre thick between the bezel and the OS desktop. The laptop is not using the full display, and the image looks under scanned. Refer to the attached screenshots.
I have tested with a 2014 MacBook Air via MiniDisplayport and there are no issues, and the screen is fully utilised. I have also tested with my work Windows laptop and have no issues.
Can anyone recommend a course of action to fix the issue? I have tried swapping cables and ports, NVRM and SMC reset, tried using SwitchResX software, adjusted all the display settings in OSX, and played with the settings of the monitor but I suspect its an issue with the MPB not displaying properly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay
