Hi all,

I've been using a 27 inch Dell U2713HM with the 2017 MBP for about a year through a USB-C to Mini Display Port adapter and it has worked perfectly until recently. The display started flickering every 1-2 seconds. Since the monitor works well when connected to a Mini without the adapter I thought maybe the adapter is failing, ordered a new one. The new one works a little better, now only flickering every 30 seconds, and sometimes the screen goes completely blank for a few seconds but still not perfect. I reset the monitor and pram to no avail. Changing the resolution to less than 2560x1440 doesn't fix it either.

My question is: has anyone been able to use this monitor with 2017 15 MBP or experienced the same thing? Maybe a different adapter? Why on earth did it just stop working all of a sudden?

Or will I have to start working on the Mini again...

Thanks
