    Is this 90Hz 400 nits desktop display the best for people who find 27" too large?

    I was disappointed with the new desktop monitors at CES. There was nothing new that is affordable for most people (or you could persuade your employer to buy). The Samsung 5K will be >$1000, and the Dell 6K is basically the same idea but an even larger panel. Also, I can never get used to 27"...

    Any way to make fuzzy text on Dell 24" crisper?

    A local thrift shop find was the $25 purchase of a Dell 24” E4217H monitor. I’ve rigged it as my second monitor. What I don’t like is the text is fuzzy, especially when looking at the Dell 27” P2721Q next to it. Is there any way to make the 24” monitor text resolution crisper, using any...

    Monitor / VESA Arm questions

    I bought a factory-refurbished M1 Mac Mini from Apple a few months ago. I did not have the money to buy a new monitor to go with it, but I eventually plan to build up enough money to buy a new 27-inch or 32-inch 4K or 5K monitor for my Mini. For now, I am using a very old Acer AL1716W color...

    Monitor compatibility for current Mini?

    When the M1 mini came out, I bought one to replace an old mini, which I use with two old HP monitors. I found it didn't work with my monitors, which I stubbornly insist on using (HP LP2465, link to specs here). These monitors don't have HDMI, so of course i connect them via adapters. At the...

    App for sending part of a display to a second monitor?

    I'm looking for a way to send part of my screen only to a second display. Technically, it is only part of a web application. A module that I want - ideally - to magnify and have permanently displayed on a second display. I looked into Stack, as a container for various web applications...

    I currently have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) and need a monitor. I found these Dell ones but am confused as to whether the scaling would ruin the display? I have no knowledge related to monitors so would appreciate any advice. I'm likely to update my MacBook in the next few years...

    Display management still a disaster in Ventura

    I can't believe that the company that has some of the best hardware and software engineers in the world, still can't figure out display management in macOS. Plainly, it's a nightmare. It was a nightmare in Monterey, and after doing a complete wipe and fresh install of Ventura in my Mac Studio...

    M1 16" MBP w/ 65w monitor - OK?

    I've got a M1 16" MBP that I currently use with the Dell S2722QC monitor. I like to minimize the number of wires on my desk so I only have the monitor plugged into my laptop. However, it just occurred to me that the monitor I use provides 65w. Is this a problem? Will it damage my MBP battery?

    Will the M2 MBA work with this 40'' LG UltraWide?

    I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to monitors and the computer specs needed and I see some complaints or horror stories of people trying to get Macs working properly with different resolutions and monitors so I'm nervous about what to buy.

    Help needed! My Dell monitor got wet and now there's a line going down my screen.

    The other day I accidentally knocked over a bottle of 70% solution isopropyl alcohol and some of it squirted onto my monitor and leaked into the enclosure through the bottom bezel. I wasn't able to turn off the monitor in time and now I have a line of dead pixels going down my screen. Is there...
