external monitor

So basically my mid-2012 unibody mbp 13" has some issues with the displayport. It works and I can use a monitor with it, but when it goes to sleep mode and then comes back on, the monitor doesn't show anything as if it's still in sleep mode. The monitor is being detected and does show under...

My Macbook air M1 works fine with my AOC 27G2G4 monitor but my Samsung s27r35x turns on for 5 seconds then blank screens. The MacBook recognises the monitor is attached but the monitor is clearly in standby (flashing blue light). It is odd. The monitor seems to "crash". It can only switch...

Hi everyone, First post here so looking forward to any input. After loads of research I'm still unsure about what monitors to get for my MBP. I've looked online at the evidence for a 110ppi monitor. That basically narrows it down to either a 24inch 1080p or 27 inch 1440p. The third option would...

It's an older (2010) 15" MacBook Pro I still own which keeps astounding me on how excellent it still runs after all these years, (I am not a gamer though). The only problem is it's manifesting some GPU glitches sometimes, like when opening some big sized PNG images on Preview (not always...

I have a 1986 Mac Plus M0001A. I was one of a few Graphic Designers to use a Mac Plus in NYC to produce my work on a Mac Pus. At the time the screen was to small to do any meaningful work (in Pagemaker), so I had a company wire it to connect to a 21" B/W monitor. I have read that the Mac Plus...

I'm looking for a 5K 27" computer monitor but it seems there is literally only one option on the market: the LG/Apple UltraFine 5K 27" display. I prefer this resolution at this size because it amounts to 220 PPI, which is 'Retina' (HiDPI) at macOS's native integer scaling. Apparently there...

Since the first 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display was released in 2014, Apple discontinued Target Display Mode for those models going forward. This was due to various technical limitations that were never overcome -- until today (potentially), with the release of the updated iMac 5K with the...

Hi guys, three months ago I leaved my home to stay with my parents during the lockdown, leaving behind my external monitor (the complete setup is in my signature). Today I have returned to my home and I discovered that if I set the refresh rate of my external monitor to 144Hz from 120Hz in...

I am looking for an external monitor for my 16 mbp. Anyone recommendations for one that looks good and works well with the 16 64gb ram and 8gb video card. 4k would be nice (should I even bother with 5k), color calibrated for photo and graphic design work and between 27-34 inches. Also do I...

Hello, I have just added an external monitor to my MacBook Pro 16" and have a few questions: 1) When using my actual MacBook when I use safari and go to a website and want to log in I am able to use keychain to input my password, when using an external monitor and keyboard this isn't an option...
