external monitor

Hello. I'm using a MacBook Pro (Retina 13-inch, Late 2013) with a 2,8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR 3 RAM. Graphics chip is Intel Iris 1536 MB. My operating system version is macOS Sierra 10.12.2. Yesterday, I connected my MacBook to an external display (Dell UP3216Q - 31.5...

Hi! I have a MacBookPro (Retina 13-inch) Mid 2014 with (two) Thunderbolt2 ports and would like to add an external display to it. Thunderbolt Display from Apple does not exist any more. A 4k Monitor via HDMI is NOT recommended because it would work only at 30 Hz. Would a 4k display work at 60 Hz...

Hello all, I'm having some trouble connecting my 2016 15" Macbook Pro (with touchbar) to my Dell S2340M external monitor (1920 x 1080 resolution with DVI port). Here's my current setup: Macbook pro thunderbolt to female HDMI (using this...

Hello, I'm using a late 2014 Mac mini (1,4 ghz version) with an ASUS VN247HA monitor. My video playing quality is quite poor via HDMI cable, especially with dark colors. Does anyone have the same issue? Image below, taken by phone. Thanks, M

Hi, I recently was able to fix my Late 2011 MacBook Pro by using advice from a thread in MacRumors and a youtube video that someone created. The thread was: Force 2011 MacBook Pro 8,2 with failed AMD GPU to ALWAYS use Intel integrated GPU... I am up and running however I have a nice 32 inch...

Just got this 27" LG monitor to run at home with 2015 retina MBPro 2.9GHz 512GB etc and I'm wondering if there are tips and tricks for getting the best image quality out of the pairing. Also a question--which is the better connection, DisplayPort or HDMI, or are they functionally...

Hey guys. Thought maybe some of you could resonate with my issue. We got the new 2017 touch bar 15/13" MBPs at work in two or three batches. First two had no issues connecting to DELL 2715 via the DP>USBc adapters out of the box, but last three laptops from the third batch refuse to identify the...

Hello I have a Retina MBP 2015 15" that is connected to an external HP Z27n monitor via DisplayPort. When my MBP is on my desktop I connect it to this monitor and close the lid (clamshell mode). Everything works ok when I am inside macOS, but if I have to restart the Mac while the external...

Hi! I currently use my MacBook Pro 13 inch with touch bar for everything I do (browsing, movie watching, designing and occasionally gaming). I design in Photoshop CC (2017), and it works great when I'm not using my external monitor. Now the problem is that when I use the monitor and I have the...

I have a Dell P2715Q 27" 4K monitor and connected it via Thunderbolt to my 2016 iMac 5K w/ AMD M395 graphics & 32GB RAM. The external monitor works great and looks fantastic, but for some reason the external monitor and my iMac screen oftentimes do not wake up from sleep. I've seen posts about...

Trying to go back to a dual monitor setup to watch Lynda.com videos while I work on the app in another screen. Using an BenQ G2400W that I used years ago with the same setup using a DVI cord to the Apple MiniDisplay adapter. Two days ago I first set it up and I had to test a couple...

So, here's the situation: I have an early 2009 17" Macbook Pro. The screen has sadly been broken for some time, so the laptop stays at home with an external monitor constantly plugged in and I use it only in clamshell mode. I wanted to do a clean install of the OS, so I backed everything up...

By this time, the performance of the macbook pro has probably been debated quite a lot. But i think it deserves more of a beating, when it comes to performance when hooked up to an external monitor - especially those of higher resolutions. I have always been quite pleased with the performance...

Greetings from Norway. I have the 13" MBP w/ touch bar. I went for a screen with 2560x1440 resolution and USB-C connectivity. The problem is, that when I am using the screen, the text is so pixelated and jagged. And the weird thing is that it doesn't even work changing resolution/scale or using...

Hi, I have the latest Mac Mini and have been looking for a GLOSSY monitor to pair with that for ages! I use my Mac Mini for amateur photo editing and daily web surfing. Currently my only option is the Dell S2414H, but I've heard mixed reviews about connecting Macs to external monitors via HDMI...

Quick question guys, I have the Dell P2715Q 4k external monitor, I was wondering, is it possible to add another ultra-wide monitor (3440x1440) to my setup? So in short, have my MBP lid closed and have the 4K monitor + an ultra wide monitor as a dual monitor setup? MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch...

Hey all, I have the 15in 2016 TB MBP I notice if I have an external monitor plugged in my battery life is only 3.5 hours even without any applications open. I looked into it and I believe it's because external monitors trigger the high performance graphics, I don't think gfxcardstatus can turn...

I didn't want to create a new thread, because it seems inefficient. But I looked around and I can't really see my particular query answered anywhere. I am the (still relatively proud) owner of a mid 2012 15" Retina MacBook Pro - the original Retina MacBook Pro. I've had it for about 3 years and...

I just got my new MacBook Pro with Touchbar. Maxed out, souped-up. It is replacing my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. My old set up was to connect 2 Dell monitors (a Dell U2715H and a slightly older one) to the MacBook using 1 connection through an OWC Thunderbolt hub (display port connection) and the...

Hi I would be greatly appreciated if someone told me what can be wrong with my iMac 27 mid 2010. After replacing of supply board in service center it felt well about half a year, but recently it started to blackening the screen after Mac OS boot and turning it whenever it wants, sometime helps...
