With Apple once again shipping the UltraFine 5K Display, new orders are currently showing in-stock availability in Apple's U.S. Online store, although Personal Pickup remains unavailable. Set the eGPU display as primary in display prefs to acceleration as apps launch. I really love the screen on the LG 5k, but it really isn't a great solution if you're looking to get some performance out of the eGPU itself as it leaves the dGPU active to drive the 5k display and impacts performance.
Ok, So, I just received the new LG 5k. I have tried driving it from my brand new MacBook Pro laptop using the supplied cable but nothing appears on the display. The display is charging my laptop, so I have a $1000 charging station.;-( I also tried driving the display from my iMac 5k, late 2016, Retina model, using the Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor cable but nothing shows up on the screen either. Something makes a faint binging noise when I plug in either computer. The monitor is so intelligent, it has no switches, reset buttons, or status buttons that might provide some comfort. Any thoughts? It seems there are several issues with this monitor.
I have it here and it's unusable as it locks/reboots my computer (2016 13' rMBP) within a minute of connecting. I just installed the beta as some have suggested but the problem persists.
I have a replacement cable from LG apparently on the way but that's my last attempt to get this working before my 14-day return period is up with Apple. I had high hopes but there's definitely hardware (cables, maybe monitor itself as reported by people with router interference) and/or software issues on a portion of this production run and not worth my time to be a beta tester. It seems this was released prematurely. Apple Footer. This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
