Has anyone have LG 34BK95U-W with m1/m2 chips with 75 Hz?

[Wizardij]

I have a work machine MacBook Pro with M2 chip 13” and a monitor ”LG 38BN95C-W 38” with up to 144Hz. It goes supper smoothie and fast when it comes to core macOS animations but, the text is a little pixilated, it is not the retina monitor. So I’m thinking to buy the “LG 34BK95U-W” monitor, the Amazon and the LG specs say it has the 75Hz on board (please don’t mix it with “34WK95U”), and I know that 75Hz is much smoother that 60Hz and the blinking is barely noticeable which makes the animation and the workflow to be smooth.

My question is does anyone have this monitor with M1/M2 MacBook Air/Pro, does it perform at 75Hz?

I have a a different model of that monitor but from the same family (LG-38WK95C-W) and I can confirm that it runs at 75Hz on my M2 MBA. I have the option from the settings menu to run it at 30,60, or 75Hz and I have 75Hz selected. I've had no issues with it whatsoever.

See this thread Why do ARM Mac’s suck with external monitors?

Basically, if you don't have a 4k monitor, macOS is does a poor job at rendering. Basically it performs poorly on sub-4k monitors. A lot of back and forth on why, and whether its good idea or not, but the fact remains the current crop of macs do a very poor job running on a non-4k (or 5k) monitor.

That article mentions betterdummy (which I think got renamed to better display) I would recommend looking into that utility.

Very thankful for your response. I’ve done such research already and tried out the betterdummy and all my trying with no luck or progress on it. So that’s why I’m thinking to buy 5k2k ultrawide monitor. But my concern is only about the refresh rate at this moment.
