Monitor refresh rate help! please!

[Zeebedy]

hey guys,

I have connected to my new Mac, a Samsung Odyssey G5 monitor..

I was having a issue connecting HDMI to HDMI on the Mac mini and screen, so I used an adapter (usb C to HDMI) and its working fine..

The issue is, the resolution is fine but the refresh rates are only giving me 60/72 hz???


Anyone that can reply ASAP would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

turned down the resolution, got 120hz now running, must be the cable support?

If I ordered a Thunderbolt to Display port, would that help the situation?

@Squink

So your USB C to DP cable works at 2K 120hz?

just ordered the same / similar cable from amazon, should support like I need!


Cheers.

Could only get 85Hz at max res on my Dell ultrawide on HDMI

Changed to a USB-C to DisplayPort (and switch to allow for pc too) and at full 144Hz 3840x1600

awesome, I was the same, HDMI was options of 60/72 hz max??

New cable arrives today but probably won't setup until tomorrow, when I monitor riser arrives, as a will need to start from scratch, so plenty of time tomorrow to faff about with that, cable management and all that jazz!

setup done. new cable (USB C to Display port) now sitting at 1440p 120hz, well happy!

Oh, and, new mouse has been so much better without lag or skipping, shame, as I quite liked the MX Master 3!
