![]() However, when I did Apple Airplay with the Apple TV, and made the screen (which is a 50" television) as a Secondary Display, the Mac quickly did a hard shut down on its own. This is when I've been using it either directly connected to the Mac via USB-C, or wirelessly. Also, as an interesting note, Sidecar with the iPad Pro 11" has worked with no issues, where I'm able to use the iPad as a secondary display. I also tried an HDMI to Apple 3-prong adapter/dongle (the one that has the USB-C, USB, and HDMI cable connections on it brand new also), and connected the adapter/dongle via USB-C into the Mac, and that didn't work. I tried an HDMI to USB-C cable (brand new) in all the ports on the Mac, and that didn't work. I've already reset the PRAM and SMC, and that didn't work. Sometimes, the Mac would briefly turn on the fans pretty loud for about a second, then perform a hard shut down on its own. However, after the latest Big Sur update (released a few days ago not sure if this was the issue either?), whenever I hook the monitor into the computer, I get really bad flickering, or a completely black screen on the Mac, along with a green screen on the LG monitor. I thought it was the LG Display causing the issue, so I hooked that into the iPad Pro via USB-C cables, and the Display has been working fine with the iPad Pro, with no screen flickering whatsoever. However, with the Display NOT being hooked in, the temperature could be over 85 degrees, and the Mac's fans don't even turn on, and the Mac's screen continues to function with no issues, even with it hooked into the Anker Docking Station. Once it got to 85 degrees, the Mac would automatically engage in a kernel task to protect itself, despite my turning on fans and even opening up the window before this happened. Thirdly, one thing I noticed was whenever the temperature (as the office is upstairs) would get above 80 degrees (as this is a work from home solution, where the entire house is running on one air conditioning unit instead of 2), the fans on the Mac would automatically kick in, and get pretty loud whenever the LG Display was hooked in to the Mac. I also had scaled the graphics to be slightly smaller on the LG Display so I could see more data on the screen (maybe this is why? Not sure.). I thought that it was doing that so it could be sure to sync properly with the Mac (which is a 16" MacBook Pro 2020 with Touch Bar). At first, I wondered why that was the case, and to this day, I still don't know why. Whenever I'd be using this 2nd monitor with the new Mac, the LG screen would periodically (say, every hour, then every 30 minutes after a period of weeks) go to a black screen for about a second, then function as normal. Now, I've had this Mac and these systems since September of last year, and I'll admit: I'm using this Mac like I've never used any other Mac I've EVER had, which is at the highest and most intense of all the laptops I have ever owned. There are also 3 hard drives hooked up to the Docking Station, along with the Loupedeck CT, all of which are running with no issues. Also, it is hooked up to an Anker Docking Station (13-in-1), which outputs the sound to my speakers, which are all at least 6' away from the monitor to ensure no interference with the monitor (as I saw on a few online reports that sound interference can cause screen flickering.). As a prerequisite: I have 32GB of RAM, and a 8GB AMD Radeon Pro 5500M Graphics Card that was custom-ordered with the machine. Here we go:īefore the Big Sur update, I was running a LG 27UL650-W 27" 4K UHD LED Monitor with VESA DisplayHDR 400 monitor with no issues. That includes swiping with two fingers to scroll, pinching in with three fingers to copy, swiping left with three fingers to undo and more.I'm seeing both in here, and around the world for that matter, that this is a problem, so I thought I'd share my findings in here. In addition to these Mac controls, you can also use a number of swipe gestures to control certain things on the second monitor (you won't be able to use the touchscreen as usual though). Menu bar: Show or hide menu bar when in full-screen.Once your screen is shared over to your iPad, a set of controls will appear on the left side of your iPad, which are sidebar controls you'll commonly see on your Mac.
