Hi mekey0622,

Thanks for posting your question about ProMotion. The resource Change the refresh rate on your MacBook Pro or Apple Pro Display XDR was a good start.

You are correct that the compatible models listed in that article would show ProMotion in the Refresh Rate drop-down menu:

"On 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with Apple silicon, you can select ProMotion for an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz."

ProMotion refers to the refresh rate of the display, so you would only see that option with the models listed above. The refresh rate is specific to the display, so you wouldn't see a ProMotion option if you were using something like an external Dell display.

We hope this answers your questions. Kind regards.
