External 4K displayer will run out of video memory.

When my MacBookPro2015 used the MacOS10.12 or earlier version, everything is ok. But in Mojave, I found after about one or two days, my computer will be stuck sometime, and the frequency increases with time.

And I finally found the reason is that I use a LG's 4K external displayer, who eats all my video memory. And after I pull it out, the usage of video memory fall to normal level.


And I am NOT a minority, so, please fix this ASAP.

Here is my MacBook's information,


And this is my external displayer's info,

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

How are you measuring "usage of video memory"? What you show in the

screen shot is simply stating which graphics adapter is being used and its capabilities.


BTW, we are just users like yourself trying to help people and not Apple
