macbook pro + 4K monitor

Post by melobird » Mon May 31, 2021 6:40 pm

Hello!

I recently bought a Dell U2720Q 4k monitor to enhance my music production a bit.

My MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019) however has issues with the fans going crazy loud when I tend to open bigger project files in Ableton. This is the case with or without my 4K monitor.
My goal is to be able to use my new monitor to the fullest. I didn't buy it to use it scaled to 1920...

Currently I'm using the standard USB C - USB C cable that came with the monitor, I heard some thing about how a different cable might help but for now I'm not exactly sure if that's the issue.

I suppose my only options are:
A) some different crazy high-end cable
B) an eGPU (blackmagic, Puck RX 560...?)

What is the best thing I can do to get the fullest out of my setup?


Thank you in advance!!
