I have tried the Thunderbolt cable as well as the HDMI cable (which seems to limit the resolution and refresh rate) that the monitor came with. The Macbook Pro doesn't have a DisplayPort input. The monitor did come with a DP cable. Should I try a DP to USB-C converter? Is there any reason that would work better than TB?
