Hi guys,
Quick background, this set up is not for gaming, it is for design. It is for a home set up. Day to day at work i use a 27inch iMac Retina 2015.
I recently purchased a LG 27UD68P 27" 4K UHD IPS Monitor to use as an external monitor for my MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Mid 2015.

I am connecting the two by the Display Port of the Mac into the HDMI port of the monitor.
Yet the “best for display” is set to 1920 x 1080.
Is that right? It seems dated to be using a 1920 display. I was hoping to be able to use it at 2560 x 1440, the same as a iMac Retina display.
I have put it to 2560 x 1440 and it seems to run ok. The mouse seems slightly laggy though?
Will refresh rate make a huge difference?
Finally, could the connecting cable need updating? The monitor is said to be able to go to 60hz refresh rate but i don't have the option to set the refresh rate through display preferences?
Any advice on these issues would be greatly appreciated. Any more questions let me know.
Thanks in advance
