USB-C and MacBook Pro - tschellenbach
I wonder if I&#x27;m the only that&#x27;s going a little crazy with the new MacBook Pro USB-C connections. I&#x27;ve experienced issues with my keyboard disconnecting, HDMI disconnecting, power disconnecting and display lag caused by the hub. Many hubs don&#x27;t fully work, protocols are different etc.<p>So this is how I got my external screen running at 60hz while using USB-C on my 15 inch MacBook Pro:<p>Step 1: 
I bought this screen (not an affiliate link) https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;B00YD3DBOC&#x2F;<p>Step 2:
This cable https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;B074V5MMCH&#x2F;<p>Step 3: I opened the menu on the monitor and changed the display port connection from Display port 1.1 to 1.2<p>Step 4: I connected my 2 USB-C connection on opposing sides of the MacBook (no clue why this matters, but it seems to make a difference). You&#x27;ll also want to make sure you plug the charging USB-C cable directly into the MacBook. Some hubs slow down charging.<p>Step 5: I clicked to display preferences and clicked &quot;scaled&quot; while holding down the option key (adding this in case you&#x27;re new to macs). My personal preference is 3200x1800<p>I was very happy when I finally go it to work smoothly. It&#x27;s a little crazy how complicated this is though.

Hello. I honestly haven't experienced any problems with USB c and my macbook
pro. I do have some different adapters than you do though. Here is what I'm
using. Did not require any custom display settings. Just plug and play.
