I checked to make sure that the connection was stable and tried other HDMI cables such as 4K rated HDMI cables and of course HDMI 2.0 cables.Īfter a quick search around the internet, I found that in order for Macs to be able to use a 144Hz refresh rate on the monitor, one would need a monitor that had USB-C support (that meant that the monitor has a USB-C port) or for the Mac to connect to the monitor using a DisplayPort 1.4 cable (the Xiaomi has 2 HDMI ports and 2 Display Port ports). What I did notice was that when I did that, I could only select a refresh rate of only 50Hz. I was trying to connect my Macbook Pro M1 laptop to the Xiaomi monitor via a USB-C hub (I use a Baseus 17-in-1 USB-C hub) and connecting an HDMI cable to it. Due to the pandemic, this became my main work-from-home monitor where I would hook up my Macbook Pro M1 to the monitor. One of the main reasons why I purchased the Xiaomi 34″ Ultrawide monitor was because of the screen real estate.
