Exactly as the title say. I have looked into this tirelessly and haven't found an answer. Even Apple's proprietary adapter doesn't work for whatever reason. Very frustrated with this issue.
Supposedly USB-C to DP doesn't work as it needs to support DP alt mode.
Not certain if USB-C to HDMI 2.0 will work at 60Hz
Would appreciate any and all help.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4
yes, but the cable looks like a snake that just had lunch because it has the adapter in it:

Here is an adapter that works at 4K at 60Hz:
Monoprice Select Series USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter - Product # 13234 - $17.09
.
4K/60Hz is easily achievable if the MacBook Pro is connected with the right cable to a capable external monitor. I have successfully done this with a USB-C to HDMI adapter. I recommend that you try the HDMI route.

¿How did you decide Mac ports to not support DisplayPort alt mode?
EVERY ThunderBolt Port and EVERY USB-C port on Macs supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. That is how it can be adapted to any other protocols.
I use this one ➔ USB-C to HDMI Multiport Adapter however you can pick something similar if you like.

HDMI was invented for HD TV sets. Use at higher than 1920 by 1080p is more complex and requires special cables.
I do not recommends HDMI at resolutions as high as 4K. DisplayPort family runs cooler and requires less "fiddling".
On an Apple-Silicon M1 Mac, use USB-C to DisplayPort to connect that display, and live happily ever after.
what Make&Model display, or a link to its detailed specs?
Honestlty cant find my source however I recall reading that. However I have also read that Apple's AV adapter does support 4k@60Hz through the M1 so im not certain about anything. May try it out with apple's adapter and if that doesn't work will try some of the suggested solutions here.

That was NOT reliable source, whatever it was.

HDMI was invented for HD TV sets, and any use beyond that has a certain amount of 'black magic' to it.
DisplayPort runs at lower voltages and can be faster and better than any adaptation to HDMI.
Apple decided they have nothing special to add to DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort adapters, so they 'left it as an exercise for third-party suppliers' to produce DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort adapters.
Any chance you could link the adapter you used? or perhaps minimum specs?
Thanks again however this doesn't seem to solve the 60Hz problem.
Will keep searching!
I don't have the display yet but thinking of getting the LG 27UL500-W
I've looked into this and I'm not sure itll work as m1 doesn't support DP alt which is required for 4k@60Hz
Thanks, will look into this!
How can I get 4K@60Hz on an external monitor using my M1 MacBook Pro?
