Strange behavior with 27 " Apple Cinema Display

Overall picture quality is decent. However, the more I've used it with a 27" Apple Cinema display (not a Thunderbolt display), the better More often I've noticed weird minor issues.. Some UI elements appear slightly blurry (text boxes in some apps but not all) It's also not a specific spot on the screen as these blurry parts are moved to where I put the window Then I noticed that if I moved the mouse pointer and then stopped, after about a second the pointer went into a slightly blurry state. Some window shadows also shifted slightly when you moved the mouse. I'm not entirely sure , which is the explanation for this, except maybe macOS is trying to fix signal issues or how it's interpreting the monitor it's showing through the adapter own tried. I attributed this to issues with new Macs and was trying to connect to an old monitor using a USB-C adapter. But when I went back to my old Mini DisplayPort to USB-C adapter, I don't see any of these issues like this one.

Pros
  • Enjoy 4K at 60Hz
Cons
  • Expensive
