M1 Macbook Air Extend Display 4K 60hz TV / Monitor 

Thank you for your help. I purchased the proper 4K, for Mac HDMI for my Macbook -> Samsung 4K, 42' TV to use as a monitor and all problems solved, including the 60hz refresh rate. Since It's been a dreamy experience using my 4K TV as a monitor. Absolutely NO lag. I use the Magic Keyboard + Magic Trackpad and it's also working perfectly! Thank you for the tutorial!

I have the UNI cable you mentioned and can confirm it works perfectly.

Wow. Wonderful video. Just i was looking for a solution about this problem. Thanks a lot.

Top stuff mate, will definitely keep this in mind 👍

a very informative video! thanks a lot for this content!

Thanks ,great help and great Mcfly outfit

Thanks Buddy!! Great tip

Very informative, thanks for sharing 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

Thanks for doing this.

Heres what worked for me: (2021 Macbook M1 Pro with Samsung 4k TV) 1. used the best hdmi port on the tv (usually its HDMI1) 2. bought the usbC to HDMI cable (check that it supports 4k60) 3. changed the Samsung tv "HDMI UHD Color" from OFF to ON. (other brands may have a similar setting) Then i got 4k 60hz on the tv. Did not need to disable SIP or download any softwares. Hopefully this helps other mac users. :)

Very helpful thank you

does this work if you plug the usb c end of the cable into a hub? I have a hub that takes up both usb c port. :P

Great video. Another tip that helped me get the 60hz rr... try Dongle or ctype to hdmi in the different hdmi ports on TV. On my lg... hdmi1 is the only hdmi port that will mirror in 60hz.

Have that exact cable - will let me have extended at 30 hz - and does show option to 60 hz but when i choose this my Hisense u7K loss signal - any ideas?

Nice video, thx, please do a seperate video about the settings you use with your Oled.

This cable don’t transmit sound or can not use any usb port which is available in monitor. Have any solution for this?

How about wirelessly through same wifi network??

What worked for me: Click show all resoloution at the setting of extended display and select 1920 * 1080 (low resolution ) option to enable 60hz

Thats probably bc ctype is powerful enough to support hdmi 2.1, those you were using might be hdmi 2.0 or sth. Also, your tv hdmi might be 2.1 as well (usually the gamer hdmi). Lg CX I know it comes with all 4 hdmi 2.1

great video. so would you say that the usb c hub is the where the bottleneck is?

Hey! What would you recommend M1 Mac Mini or M1 Macbook air + External Display? Will I lose out on anything if I go with M1 Macbook Air on an external display compared to the M1 mini?

I am about to buy the Anker usb c to hdmi cable for my MacBook Air M1 and 4K Samsung monitor, can anyone confirm it’d work? I have a shitty dongle and when I do hdmi to hdmi through dongle it gives me max 1080p with 60hz

IS the Uni cable working fine on the macbook air m1? will it work with macbook pro 13 inch 2019 too? Thanks.

Hi, I have the same issue. I have a razer blade15advanced with the 1070qmax/from 2018 . I can only play 60hz on external monitors via hdmi in 1080p. When i take higher resolutions,it makes 30hz max. Why? I have hdmi 2,0 or higer? Can anybody help me? (my english is bad,,maybe a german can help me?

I bought our local usbc to hdmi cable, but it still doesn't work or even black screen. I saw in other videos that Apple does not want us to use the random HDMI cable, they want us to use the separate usbc to DP, what do you think?

search cable 8k 60hz thats work good

I have 65 inch 4k tv, with hdmi to usb c cable support 4k@60hz gold plated, but only stuck with 1080p and the full screen size was cropped..😢.. horrible...

Do you know if this cable supports HDR /Dolby Vision with your M1 and LG tv?

Get the proper 8k hdmi cable, works perfectly

DO YOU feel a little freezing in working with 60 hz? I have really big freeze with 30hz and thinking will 60hz change that?

Thanks for the video I've just bought a 4k monitor that has USB-C connectivity, my plan is to run a single cable from mac M1 to the monitor via Usb-C. Should this give me 60hz?

Hi i just got my brand news LG OLED C1 and Macbook air m1, After watching this video i bought type-c to hdmi cable (not in the link cause i'm stay so far away from you) but i can't reach 4k 60hz only 30hz. Is there anything special to focus for select the cable ? (this cable said can run 4k 60hz but not)

i have to use one thunderbolt port of my m1 macbook air for an audio interface, now with the remaining port, i have to use usb c dongle which extends with hdmi and use c and a usb port, usb c port here has to be used for charging, so i have no option left for usb c to hdmi, so i am stuck with hdmi 30hz.

I have tried 2 cables that support 4k 60hz and suddenly I get random disconnection, the screen gets black and some times I have to reboot the macbook air M1, anyone has experienced this issue?

I can get 120hz on my m1 macbook air and 86 lg tv with hdmi 2.1

Are those dongles 4K 60hz itself?

My tv support 2K 120Hz. With these cable can I get 2k 120hz? I have macbook air m1

is m2 macbook air capable of doing 4k 60hz?

Hello Sir do you have any solution for this problem: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kpX561_XM20.html. i mean without downgrade my resolution to 1440p, i want to use 27" 4K (3840x2160) monitor with my macbook air M1. waiting for your reply.

I have base macbook air m1 , and i am not VERY impressed about the productivity ... I get laggs cause i always use Telegram app + google chrome with at least 1 yotube vid + discord + mail .... and some more tabs , but sometimes i feel it gets to its limits.... THE ONLY thing i am interested is if my problem is with 8gb ram or just the processor doesn't handle the performance .... its like when i switch from lets say discord to youtube tab , i get black screen in tab itself for several seconds and only after some time i see the real content in that youtube tab..... curious if i would have same problem in case my mac had 16gb ram ...... would be interested in hearing opinions if anyone has similar lag issues ....

Man sorry but i can't agree with this. If you see in the system report window, the utent output is 1920x1080. So you didn't see really in 4k60hz but in 1080 60hz! Just to say you

mac is 60 hz. it is very laggy and slow. do not fool yourselves.

Dude you could have just said about the HDMI 8:31 is too long
