The new "macOS" product variation of https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCN798Y1 allows plug-and-play 4k 120hz 12-bit RGB Full Range HDR10 on my M1 MacBook Pro using an LG C1 through the "Amazon Basics High-Speed HDMI Cable (48Gbps, 8K/60Hz ) - 3 Feet, White" hdmi cable (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BS181P2). | |
For optimal performance and lowest possible latency, I would also recommend: | |
1) Installing BetterDisplay (https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay) — I did this through homebrew ($ brew install --cask BetterDisplay; open -a BetterDisplay) | |
2) Enabling BetterDisplay's Settings => Displays => LG TV SSCR2 => Edit display role setting, which forces macOS to treat the C1 as a monitor rather than a TV, meaning that Night Shift and True Tone will work. | |
3) Disabling BetterDisplay's Color Mode => GPU Dithering in the BetterDisplay menu bar dropdown. | |
4) Downloading Quartz Debug from "Additional Tools for Xcode 16.2" (https://download.developer.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Additional_Tools_for_Xcode_16.2/Additional_Tools_for_Xcode_16.2.dmg), then disabling Quartz Debug.app => ⌘1 => Enable vertical sync | |
5) Turning on the LG C1 Game Optimizer => VRR & G-Sync setting | |
