Jian3917,


To clarify, the 2018 MacBook Pro only support 60 Hz refresh rate with external displays. You can check out the technical specifications below, depending on which model you use. Check the "Video Support" section for details:


MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) - Technical Specifications


MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports) - Technical Specifications


We hope this answers your question. Have a good one.

It happens on all 120fps videos. Just find a 120fps video and play on your own mac, you'll see it, and 120fps video plays well on Ipad Pro which has a 120Hz display panel. I'm not saying this is a problem of macbook as i understand the panel is 60Hz only, just want to ask if external 120Hz monitor can be a solution.
