Hi,

I recently upgraded my external display to a LG 27UK650-W 27" 4K UHD IPS Monitor with HDR10 and AMD FreeSync Technology. I have a MBP 13 2018.

I have a couple questions about how to set this up properly. Currently with my new monitor connected right out of the box (via hdmi with a basic converter hdmi to usbc) the refresh rate is at 30hz. How do I increase this to at least 60? Also, how do I utilize the FreeSync?

The monitor is giving me an error that Im not using the native resolution of 3840 x1260 but if I change to this resolution everything is super small on the screen and still at 30hz.

What am I missing?

Also, whats the best way to plug in my old monitor as well for a double screen set up?


Thank you for your consideration!
