    MacRumors needs a new forum topic for...

    Call it Display Discussion. It would be a Forum Topic completely dedicated to the thousands of users who ask the same question over and over and over until they're #0000ff in the face: "What display should I get for using with my Mac [insert product name]?" The Search functionality should be...

    MP All Models desktops swapped: there has GOT to be a solution!

    I have a Late 2013 Mac Pro trashcan running Monterey. (Yeah, it's about time for a new machine, but not quite yet.) I have two identical ACER displays that I use, let's call them Left and Right, since that his how the physical devices are configured. Left has always been designated as the main...

    Very sad: Ventura is a steaming hot mess of 💩

    Well folks, just wanted to relate some experiences I've had in my small foray into Ventura and am done with this iteration of the OS it appears. A few major halting / critical points on an M1 Max system (also, just to be clear, I'm not a novice user - I've been a goto guy that has helped Apple...

    Which of these monitors works best for MacBook Pro

    My company has upgraded my laptop to a MacBook Pro 16'' 2021 and after trying it at home with an old Dell 1080p monitor I've noticed text is blurry due to having very low dpi. I have a budget of around 450€ for a new display and I was thinking of buying a 27'' 4k monitor to use it with 2k to...

    At last, a use-case which has nudged me into wanting a wider (or more) display(s)

    I’ve no idea whether this was running on a 10.5.8 or 10.6.8 setup (I’m leaning toward 10.6.8 for no better reason than when this clip was posted and how Dropbox is still showing as working), but it looks like Pro Tools 8. What I know is: to be able to view the imported multi-track breakdown of...

    Max vs Pro Processors and number of displays

    Hello everyone, I work as a multimedia artist for fine art and theater/dance. I've been waiting on the new Macs (with ports!) for ages, and my maxed out 2015 will finally be happy to have a rest as my daily driver. I've seen the specs about the differences in the new Max vs Pro and what they...

    Question about connection protocol for USB-C monitors

    I recently bought a new monitor (an LG 27UK850-W 27" 4K UHD IPS Monitor) and one of the connection options is USB-C, which I'm using on my MacBook Pro. In System Information.app, it describes the external monitor connection type as "Thunderbolt/DisplayPort," and I'm using the USB-C-to-USB-C...

    M1 Macs only support one single external display via *ALL* Thunderbolt 3 ports.

    Just got my M1 Mac mini. Can confirm - only one single display over Thunderbolt, regardless of how you attempt to connect. I tried: Two USB-C-to-DisplayPort connections direct to back of Mini - only the first one got signal. I tried a Thunderbolt 3 Dock that has two DisplayPort connections...

    Displays which fade in on screen wake

    I have an external monitor for my iMac. I am looking for a new one. The way that this display wakes over displayport is incredibly obnoxious. I'll walk up to my iMac, hit a key to wake the screen up, and by the time my Watch has unlocked my computer, the external display has just gotten its...

    Hi folks, My 2012 Mac Mini is still going strong and I've used it with a Dell U2515H (2560x1440 pixels) display for a few years now.

    Macbook Pro and 5K/4K Displays Setup

    Hey guys, Would anyone know of any existing solutions to simultaneously connect both an LG Ultrafine 5K display with a Dell 27" 4K display? I know that the specific nature of the thunderbolt config on the LG display doesn't allow for any other displays to connect, unless it's a second LG 5K...

    MacBook Pro 13 inch external displays

    Hi I'm contemplating a move from my creaking 2013 27" iMac to the Macbook Pro 13". For the last 20 years of Mac use I've always had a Mac desktop as my main workhorse but recently I've felt the need have some freedom and be untethered from the desk. I'm a designer/developer and trying to keep...

    2 Extended Displays on 15in Mid-2012 MBP

    So I've recently been looking into purchasing 2 displays to connect to my MacBook Pro. After days of research I've come to the conclusion that MST (daisy chaining through Display Ports) won't work, as Mac OS doesn't support it. So my main issue is how am I supposed to connect to 2 monitors...

    iMac Pro with dual 5k displays?

    HI, Is anyone using a iMac Pro connected to dual LG 5k displays? I know it supports this feature. I have been using a 2016 MacBook Pro running dual LG 5k displays. I have had more problems than I had hoped and way too many hours with Apple support trying to fix the issues.

    USB External Monitor

    I have a Macbook Air and until recently I would operate off 3 monitors, the Air's, one hooked into the thunderbolt, and one hooked into the USB. The USB monitor stopped working recently. I have swapped out the connections and the monitor, so I have eliminated that. The USB ports work for all...

    A few questions about monitor resolutions

    Hi, I've been using my late-2013 15" MacBook Pro a lot more lately, and am thinking of getting a separate monitor for it. I was hoping you experts could share some of your knowledge and answer a few questions. Here goes: If you drive modern monitors at non-native resolutions, do they get...
