Monitor Support - LG38WK95C or LG38WN95C - will they work?
Hi - I'm looking at buying one of these two monitors.
The 38WK is a little older, and a very good price, the 38WN is newer, more expensive.
I spoke to LG to clarify the difference between the two, to ask whether either would work with present and future Macs, and I'm not happy with their answer - they said I needed to get the newer one as it has Thunderbolt 3. They didn't ask which Mac I had - I guess they assumed it was a new one.
My current MacBook (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) and has 2 USB 3.00, and 2 thunderbolt 2.00 connectors.
The older 38WK95C has these inputs/outputs
HDMI - Yes (ver2.0, 2ea)
DisplayPort - Yes (ver1.2)
USB Type-C -Yes
Headphone Out - Yes
USB Down-stream -Yes (USB3.0 2ea)
The newer 38WN95C has these inputs/outputs
HDMI - Yes, HDMI 2
Display Port - Yes (ver1.4)
USB 3 - (Type A; downstream)
Headphone - Yes
Thunderbolt 3 -Type C, 94W
Will either work with my current MacBook, and the latest ones? I was looking at the spec of the new MacMini, and this is what they have up:
Simultaneously supports up to two displays:
- One display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz connected via Thunderbolt and one display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz connected via HDMI 2.0
Thunderbolt 3 digital video output supports
- Native DisplayPort output over USB‑C
- Thunderbolt 2, DVI, and VGA output supported using adapters (sold separately)
HDMI 2.0 display video output
- Support for one display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz
- DVI output using HDMI to DVI Adapter (sold separately)
Thanks so much - Nigel
