Can a MacBook Air M3 support 2K 240Hz Monitor via USB-C? Hello everyone. I would like to connect a MacBook Air 15'' M3 to an external monitor. The monitor supports 2k at 240hz. By buying a usb-c to DisplayPort cable that supports this frequency, can I connect it? Because I read from specifications that the Mac supports 6k 60hz as an external monitor but nothing is said about lower resolutions. Thanks [Re-Titled by Moderator]

4k 60hz on external monitor from MacBook Pro 2013 (Intel) Hi I bought an external monitor, it should run 4k 60hz, however I only get 30hz. I tried buying the right cables and it still didn't work. An IT guy from the store told me that I will never be able to get it to run in 60hz, because my monitor only supports DisplayPort 1.1, and 1.2. How does the displayport version affect my connection through HDMI? Do I really have to buy an entirely new monitor? I doubt it, so maybe someone can explain :)

The M2 MacBook Air spec's say "One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz"

see "Display Support" at > MacBook Air (15-inch, M2, 2023) - Tech Specs - Apple Support

and then go to > Use an external display with your MacBook Air - Apple Support
