External Display - High CPU Usage - MacBook Pro Mid 2015 High Sierra Update

Hi,

I am using MacBook Pro Mid 2015 with latest High Sierra Update 10.13.3.

What I have noticed is that when I connect my external display after a while (say 10 minutes) the kernel_task CPU utilization goes up and remains in the range of 450-500% till I disconnect the monitor.

Any solution to over come this issue?

Regards,
