Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask how compatible this monitor is with macOS and whether anyone else has run into system issues when connecting it. Whenever I plug it in, the process 'WindowServer' process starts using a lot of resources. I’ve read that this process is responsible for tracking the visual state and window sizes of what’s open on the Mac.

Lately, I’ve noticed that if I open Excel, the fans ramp up and this process spikes, making the Mac extremely slow. Since I formatted the system and went back to Ventura, things have improved significantly, but I’d still like to know if this happens to other users with different monitors.
