Hello,
I've read a lot about this issue -- the 2019 MacBook Pro 16" overheating when connected to an external display. There seem to be many "workarounds" that are hit or miss, I've tried them all. Does this problem occur with all external displays, or would purchasing an Apple monitor fix the issue?
