    Will FaceTime stream 1080p from a 3rd-party cam on a 720p iMac?

    I want to improve the webcam on my 2017 720p iMac running Monterey. First of all, if I purchase a third-party1080p or higher webcam, can it use the full 1080p or 4K resolution on FaceTime calls, or will it downsize the stream to 720p on an older iMac? Secondly, are there any webcams you...

    How is Text quality on non-retina external monitors with M1 MBP 13"?

    I'm a big fan of using laptops with extenal monitors when in an office. In my new job I have been offered the choice of a new mid-range Dell/HP, or a base model MBP 13". The idea is that the workers will move around the building and hook up their laptops to various available USB-C displays...

    HDMI issue: Wakes with wrong resolution

    New problem I encountered on M1 Mac. Was waking to correction resolution before. However, HDMI always took longer than my DP monitor to wake up. But now when the HDMI monitor wakes, the resolution is at 1080p instead of 1440p and it's not fit to the screen. Half the stuff is off screen like the...

    Scale resolution for large monitor

    Hello Everyone I just recently bought a Full HD 27" monitor to use with my MBPr. At 1080p resolution, the user interface on the mac is huge (i.e. fonts are large, toolbar buttons are large, everything is large...) giving much less workspace than I had hoped for. I understand that this is...

    “Is it actually 4K?”

    As someone with average internet speed, I wondered if someone with great internet could help me out... When I start watching a 4K movie and then flick down on the remote to bring up the info tab, it only says “HD” and not 4K. I wondered if this is the same experience for everyone? I guess I’m...

    iTunes 10.6.3 can't play 1080p anymore?

    So I use iTunes 10.6.3 (why is irrelevant) to download movies and TV shows from the store. Sometime within the last few months, it stopped being able to download or even playback 1080p videos. 720p and all other parts of the app continue to work just fine. I've installed this version on 10.6.8...

    1080p Movies

    I don't know much about about technology but why doesn't a 1536x2048 (ipad air 1) can't show videos in 1080p? Totally considering getting a 9.7 pro with black bezels (the white distracts me when I watch movies). I know that the 9.7 pro have the same screen resolution so its okay to assume that...

    Making text bigger: Retina 4k w/ 'Larger text' vs. 1080p w/ lower res

    I'm buying a 21.5-inch iMac and was wondering if the more expensive Retina option is worth it if I'm going to use the 'Larger text' scaling option to get bigger text (I have poor eyesight). In other words, if I cannot use Retina's native res, does it make sense to get one over the cheaper 1080p...

    4k 30Hz or 1080p 60Hz Monitor for Mac Mini late 2014

    So I read on this MR article that the late 2014 Mac Mini I have will only support a 4k monitor at 30Hz or a 1080 at 60Hz. What would be better for the 27" monitor I intend to buy if I can find one at a good price around the holidays? I don't know much about monitors, as you can tell. Also, It...

    iPhone 7 Display Resolution

    Hello everyone. So we pretty much all know that the iPhone 7 is going to continue with an LCD display for another year. I really don't care for the dual camera, thinness, removal of the headphone jack or stereo speakers. My only concern is if they'll bump the display resolution up from 1080p...

    Extra CPU or better disk?

    I have an old Mid 2011 Mac Mini (2,3GHz i5, 8GB) that is starting to slow down. It lags on 1080p movies in VLC and unpacking big +4GB .rar files takes a long time. I am therefor thinking of buying a new Mac Mini. I will definitely buy the top model, but I am unsure of custom options. I want...
