Hey there,

I've just bought the lg gl850, which is 27' 1440p monitor and I'm having some issues when plugging it with my mb pro.

The macbook pro starts to run very slowly (unusable), with resulting in no image on the external monitor.

Previously I had a very old samsung monitor, 1680 x 1050, hooked via mini dp adapter -> hdmi to dvi cable, working so smoothly!

For the records, I'm using the same mini-dp adapter, but with hdmi - hdmi cable, btw I don't think this is the culprit.



My macbook pro is very old, as you read, 13' i5 with 8 gigs of ram.

I've read so many people having the same issue, but it seems that's no real solution.



Thanks guys!
