Video Support
Simultaneously supports up to two displays:
One display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz connected via Thunderbolt and one display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz connected via HDMI 2.0
Thunderbolt 3 digital video output supports
Native DisplayPort output over USB‑C
Thunderbolt 2, DVI and VGA output supported using adapters (sold separately)
HDMI 2.0 display video output
Support for one display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz
DVI output using HDMI to DVI Adapter (sold separately)
So is the maximum refresh quoted here 60Hz?
The 32" Dell I have seems to run at 100Hz with the Mac. In fact, when I set it to 60Hz it had a noticeable flicker.

I stephen, I have a 34" (3440x1440) ultrawide gaming LG monitor. I had the same issue as you on a MBP and my mac mini for a long time. Eventually I figured out that it was in fact poor quality HDMI cables. For that resolution and for those refresh rates (mine operates at 75hz on the M1 and 144hz on my PC), you need an ultra high speed HDMI.
I recommend one that works with 8K, HDMI 2.1 48GB/s. A high quality 4k HDMI 2.0 should work but I suggest just skipping it because it will be a gamble. Go right to the HDMI 2.1.
