My monitors have always worked fine with my Macs. I actually have/have had the same models as you.
I rarely use the internal display.
I make sure to use good quality cables and displays (Dell 4K and Acer 2K at 144 hz, currently).
- akerl_ 4y agoSame. I have an Acer ultrawide. 2 different MacBooks (an intel pro and m1 pro). Each connected to an Anker dock. The docks are connected via HDMI to an HDMI/USB KVM switch from CKL, then I have a 20ft HDMI cable and USB cable to run across the room to my desk. The only time I hit issues is if I reboot the laptops while disconnected from the docks. They won’t pick up the monitor unless they’re logged in when I connect them. Otherwise, I toggle back and forth between them with the KVM remote with no issues.
- behnamoh 4y agoWhich KVM do you use that has a remote? That's so handy.
- runjake 4y agoOr the guy you’re asking but rather, one guy up. I use a couple cheap IOGear KVMs with remotes and they work fine.
- akerl_ 4y agoRemote may be a bit of a misnomer. The CKL KVMs ( https://cklkvm.com/ https://cklkvm.com/ ) have a wired remote. That said, the “remote” is pretty simple. It uses what looks like a mini-A to mini-A USB cable, but they use the connector as a 6th pin. I needed the remote to be further away, so I cut the stock cable and used 6 wires of an Ethernet cable to add an extra 15ft.
