Thanks for the heads up. I had a feeling it wouldn't be as easy. So you're saying it won't do 60Hz with DisplayPort booted into macOS?
I don't mind if boot screen is stretched, I never shut down my workstations anyway. It will irk me, but...
I have a hard time letting go of the 27" dual Apple Cinema Displays since they are 2560x1440, width wise I'm losing about 20-25% going to the 38" LG. I work in Adobe apps all day and dual monitors is a must for me. But these monitors are from 2011 and showing their age. The panels are still great, and the design is obviously timeless in my opinion.
Curious to see how this ultrawide performs, I'll throw it on ebay or return it if I don't like it.
No that's not what I am saying.. it will make 60 Hz via Display Port under macOS without any issues. It will even make 72 Hz via Display Port when enabling FreeSync but it won't boot with such configuration. The problematic part under macOS is HDMI, which is restricted to 30 Hz when forced to enable HDMI compatibility on the monitor to ensure display wake under 10.14. And I guess under 10.13.6, the display anyway just runs with 30 Hz via HDMI.
The problem with the Display Port is that the monitor is not able to run at native resolution during boot. Splash Screen Image and verbose boot messages are VGA like, while via HDMI everything works as expected..
For running Adobe apps with native 4K resolution, the 34 and 38 5K2K displays will be certainly of advantage. Although I really will have to ensure that the DisplayPort of the 38 inch 5K2K monitor is 1.4.. I need to connect 2 rigs to my screen, which is not possible within a TB3 chain.. The DisplayPort of the 34 inch 5K2K display is still 1.2.. which might cause similar issues with Vegas as currently observed and also prevent a 5K2K resolution via the monitor's DisplayPort (I expect 5K2K to be TB3 only).
