MacBook Pro & Dell S2719DGF

I recently purchased a Dell S2719DGF monitor to use with my MacBook Pro and have run into a few issues.

Firstly, whenever I restart my MacBook, the system doesn't resume and appears to enter into Sleep mode and unable to wake my MacBook with my bluetooth keyboard or mouse. I have to remove the MacBook from my stand which keeps it in an closed-lid upright positon, wake and then sign in before I can reconnect. This is obviously annoying.

Second, I can't seem to get the monitor to run at the 144hz.

I have the monitor connected to the MacBook via Apples Thunderbolt to HDMI adapater, using HDMI 2.0 port on the monitor.

All advise and help is appreciated.

Thanks.

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14
