Hi all

I recently bought a 4K USB-C monitor to use as a standalone screen for my late-2016 MBP (13" i5 3.1 & 16GB). It's great but I've noticed a considerable degree of UI lag which is not present when just using the MBP by itself. Scrolling websites, especially those with ads or lots of images, is very choppy indeed - even expanding a folder in the launch pad seems jerky. Clicks sometimes take a few seconds to register too.

Has anyone else experienced similar and found a solution? Or is this just a sign of my MBP not being able to cope with 4K?

Cheers!
