Hi all,

With update to 10.15.4 Beta (Build 19E224g) my LG 5K Monitor (LG 34WK95U-W / Res. 5160 x 2160) is not properly working if attached to my MacBookPro (MBP 15-inch, 2017, Radeon Pro 560 4 GB).

Configurations:

Preferred / used to work / now not working => Screen stays black

MBP -> Thunderbolt -> LG (Screen res: 5160x2160)

Alternative / lower resolution => working

MBP -> HDMI -> LG (Screen res: 3440 x 1400, higher not possible

Alternative using both LG inputs & LG Split-Scree (HDMI & Thunderbolt) => working

MBP -> HDMI -> LG (Screen res: 3840 x 2160)

-> Thunderbolt -> LG (1280 x 2160)

Feedback filed to Apple, hopefully next update will fix the issue.

Anyone with same issue?

I have found the same issue with my LG 34WK94U. whih is the widescereen 34 in. I have a 27 in 5K also and it works properly on that monitor.

This just started with beta 2 and i have been playing with iot for a few days now. A reinstall with the current released OS it works fine. But upgrade to beta 2 and the monior acts up. It does seems to be just this monitor as I can connect other monitors here and it works fine.

I have also changed to a hdmi connection and it works fine. Issue is just with thunderbolt on this monitor.

Issue here still active under 19E242d. Dear apple please put in some proper testing to fix this thunderbolt 3 connection to monitors once and for all. The fact all works fine under windows bootcamp with the same devices gives proove to the idea that something with macos and thunderbolt 3 displays is not allright, especially in the combination with the 34WK95u thunderbolt 3 screen.
