USB-C is just the physical port. The signal is HDMI due to whatever you’re likely docking through. You need to make sure everything in the path from your computer to the monitor can handle an HDMI 2.0 signal to achieve 60hz.
Read the whole thread before throwing up your hands. Upvotes don’t count for anything here, and tons of people have led you to water. Time to drink it or quit complaining.
This is a fixable problem unless you just wanted to post the screenshot for meaningless upvote rage bait because mac bad.
oh right, we dont. you might want to look at the screenshot.
and this is mildlyinfuriating and i posted something mildlyinfuriating, not sure why you are getting upset. if you dont like this community you can unsubscribe
There’s one piece of the puzzle missing no one is mentioning.
You won’t be able to to reach 1080p@60hz unless the monitor+cable+hub supports 4K@60hz . Only then, if then, you can click “Show all resolutions” holding alt and you’ll be able to see something like “1080p with scaling”. Because retina.
That’s why you were able to select 1080p 60hz and everything looked blurry. That’s just how macOS is at a lower resolution (downscaled)
And then, you’ll be able to change the text scaling etc. I think the most comfortable you’ll be with is 1440p and text scaling on the second level, otherwise things look too zoomed in (that’s what I use, with a cheap cable and a 25$ dollar hub from aliexpress that DOES support 4k@60hz - so: MacBook -> cheap hub+4k@60hz support -> hdmi cable that came with the monitor.
Sorry, I don’t have my laptop around to test. But there’s somewhere you can press while holding alt that will show all available resolution options (+ the show all resolutions toggle). Holding alt + click is generally macOS’ “show me advanced options” toggle
