MacBook Pro 16 and 1st gen LG 5K Ultrafine

[macman4789]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me their experiences with using the 1st gen LG 5k ultrafine and the 16 MBP. Obviously the first gen was designed to charge at 87W (I think) for the older 15 MBP and so wondered if it still worked and charged sufficiently with the newer 16 MBP as I know the newer gen charges at 90+W. Has anyone had any issues with it?

Thanks

New mbp 16 does have 96W charger, but it is not utilized every time. Because it can charge even from power bank at 40W+. So basically, if you max out all 6/8 cores and dGPU, then this monitor will charge MBP 16, but still it will discharge at a slow rate. If you just do light stuff, then it will charge without problems.

Even on the 96W charger the unit can consume more than it provides if you're really working things hard, taking the additional from the battery.
