Mouse cursor lags with external monitor

Same problem with two Macs: a 15" rMBP mid-2012 and a mid 2012 13" MBP.

Monitor: Dell U2713

Connection: mDP to DP cable (not the Dell cable)

When I go to Menu / Display Settings (or Other Settings), I don't see anything for changing the DisplayPort version. How do I get that?

Same problem here with a 13" rMBP Late 2013 and a Dell U2713H...

Before i bought the U2713H, i got 2 U2713HM and had nor Problems.

Now with the U2713H i have the RGB YPbPr problem (I fixed it with the ruby script) and the lagging Mouse...

A solution for this Problem would be very nice!

Best wishes

I'm also having the mouse lag issue on the following configuration:

MBP Retina 15" Late 2013, using a 30" Apple Cinema Display connected via the Apple Dual DVI adapter.

I'm using a Magic Mouse and the issue only occurs with the lid closed. Sometimes it's allright, but i don't know why, couldn't figure out the pattern until the next reboot.

Would be great to have a solution to this!

Same problem with a macbook air mid 2013 13", i5, HD5000, connected to a Dell U2713H. Cursor jumps, but as sendaal says sometimes it's allright, very annoying. I had my macbook checked in the store but they couldn't find anything.

I tried a Logitech mouse, apples usb mouse, and the magic mouse with bluetooth connection, always the same problem.

I am using the original dell mDP to DP cable. At the store I tried the apple thunderbolt display which seems not to have the problem. I am wondering if a mDP to mDP cable could be a solution.

The problem with the colour mode can be fixed with the EDID override file. Works just fine.

A solution would be great, don't want to get rid of the dell display.

Just to inform u all, The latest update to OSX (10.9.2) didn't fix our issue 😟

Displayport output still make cursor skip. HDMI output to my 21:9 (2560x1080) monitor still limited to 1080P

resolution.....

Totally disappointed!!!!!

Unfortunatly I don't even expect Apple to fix this anymore. The sad thing is though, this makes it impossibile for me to use products i've grown to depend on for years.

Do you guys attach the external monitors directly to yout macs or do you use any kind of adapters? I was curious weather getting a monitor with displayport would alleviate the issue... as opposed to my dual-dvi adapter -> 30" ACD...

so so frustrating!

I'm using a mDP to DP cable, directly into a DisplayPort and am reproducing the issue. You know, I bought a MacBook Pro Retina because I wanted a high-end machine that "just worked". But I've had WAY more problems with it than I've ever had with any PC I've used. All my PC's work with this monitor flawlessly, regardless of DVI versus DisplayPort. Only my $2300 rMBP has problems. I've spent 20 years in the PC world (and I'm still largely in it) but I'd expected Macs to have fewer problems. Out of the box, I can't even connect this to my $1200 monitor. That's pretty lousy, and definitely not what I'd expected from Apple.

I have reported this issue as a bug at apple bug report.

After answering some questions form engineering and sending a system report all I got back was this:

"Engineering has determined that this is not to be fixed."

No more info than that, sigh

In my opinion the problem in the near future will not be solved.

I'm already half a year with the cursor lags, and the problem to them has not been solved.

My patience coming to an end, I think that selling my Mac Mini and buy windows laptop.

Very disappointed.😠😠😠

I was working with Air late 2011 and U2713H and had no problems at all.

Bought recently a new MacBook Pro retina 13 late 2013 and was shocked with U2713H oversharpening and mouse laging. Overshapr was fixed with ruby script, but no luck to fix the mouse....

This is so sad people have to face problems because global producers want to force customers buy products only from them! 😠

Especially I don't like ACD because it doesn't give me all possible settups of U2713H, not even uniformity compensation 😕

Ok, now it's getting even more frustraded.

Today I've tried my MacBook Pro retina 13 late2013 with NEC PA241w and EVERYTHING was OK!

Same cable thunderbolt=>displayport.
So it means that Apple just doesn't want to make it's products to work with Dell correctly.

Hello friends. Some new information.

About two weeks ago I sold my Dell 2713H Revision A00 (by reason of the cursor lags) and bought a monitor Dell U3014 (Revision A03, January 2014).

Lags cursor is disappeared!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are no more!!!! I am happy!!!!!!

I understand it all depends more on the revision of the monitor...

I have the same problem with a Late 2013 Macbook pro Retina and 2 Dell U2413.

The mouse cursor is lagging and flickering each 2-3 seconds

2000$ the macbook pro + 1300$ two screens and I can't get a proper result :/

I have a 15" Late 2013 Retina MBP, with two 20" external displays. I am having the same mouse lag issue, but only when the monitors are off. At night the displays hurt my eyes so I would normally turn them off to reduce eye strain. Now I can't do that.

Hopefully Apple fixes this eventually, but it seems like it's been an issue for years so I don't think there's hope.

I'm using some sort of no-name cable, the only thing on it that says what it's about is: "High Speed HDMI with Ethernet"!
