LG 24MD4KL-B Monitor with 2020 MB Air Lid Closed

If I use an LG 24MD4KL-B 4K monitor over a TB3 cable to a 2020 MB Air with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, can I close the lid on the MB without it going to sleep?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Hello MudBucker,


It sounds like you are referencing the use of an external display with you Mac and wanting to understand if you can close the lid on your MacBook without the display sleeping on your external display. Please feel free to correct us if we misunderstood.


Please reference the information in: Use your Mac notebook computer in closed-display mode with an external display. Specifically the section titled "Enable closed-display mode."
