Macbook Pro + USB-c Monitor behaviour

[tom619]

Hi everyone,

I just got hold of a Lenovo T27 4K 27" monitor and after setting it up I'm experiencing some odd behaviour when using the USB-c all-in-one cable connectivity with my 2017 15" rMBP.

The monitor doesn't seem to remember the resolution setting I am using after being turned on / off and gets itself into a weird state where the MBP screen and the monitor screen turn on / off before settling down.

Has anyone ever experienced this when using USB-c to USB-c monitor?

Thanks

On the same note, I'm using the monitor in "looks like 3008x1962" resolution and it looks pretty damn good to my eye, the only problem being when swiping between spaces there is some tearing, does anyone else see this?

I'm using an USB-C to DisplayPort cable and I don't experience your problems, but I don't have the same display, mine is a Samsung 4K.
I tried the 3008x1962 resolution, but I found out I prefer setting 2560x1440. There is plenty of space to work even at 2560 in my opinion, but to each is own
