I'm using a 4k TV as a monitor, (Following a friend's example) and I recommend it highly! MacOS works well at 100 dpi or 200 dpi, but gets awkward between 120-180 dpi. So I worked out how big a 4k screen would be if it was 100 dpi. The result was 42", so I bought one! It took a couple of days...
Hello all,
This is kind of an obscure advice-needed/infodump post, though for me this is all just tinkering or proof-of-concept.
I have a cMP 4,1->5,1 with an MVC-flashed 1080Ti as its GPU, as such it's still running 10.13.6 with nVidia's web drivers (this works fine.)
Recently I've been...
Hi :)
I'm wondering if anyone is using an M1 Mac and Kodi for HTPC purposes? Or might test it for me ;)
I know that Big Sur supports HDR output, but this might not translate to video content being put out via HDMI with the proper HDR metadata and so on. I also see that the first release of Big...
Hi.
I bought a new 32" 4K LG Monitor and I really like it, except that my MacBook Pro fans go crazy when the monitor is connected and it gets really loud as if I am running a high-demanding app or something, even when I just have 3 tabs open in chrome, or playing a youtube video in 1080p. I was...
Hey everyone,
I just bought a Samsung UR55 monitor, and I never actually checked if my iMac could run it (stupid, I know). To my knowledge, the GTX 680MX supports DisplayPort 1.2, which can do 4k60hz, but the GK104 chip is limited to 3/4 of the true transfer speed of DP 1.2 (which can still do...
I have an M1 MBP. I connect it to my external display (DELL S2721QS) using a HyperDrive Viper hub.
When my MBP is in clamshell mode, the external display works at 4K 60Hz resolution. When the MBP is open, the external display only works at 4K 30Hz.
My hub and HDMI cable are both capable of 4K...
Hi,
I have an Early 2015 13" MBP Retina and I cannot get 4K @60fps streaming on YouTube within the most up-to-date versions of Google Chrome or FireFox without almost all frames being dropped. The external monitor that I am using is a Dell U2720Q, and the specs for my MBP are attached in the...
I have a iMac Retna 5k, 27 inch, 2019. The iMac is configured with a Radeon Pro Vegas graphics card. Everything works fine.
I wanted to connect a second monitor since I do a lot of photo editing. Connected a 27 inch Asus PB287Q, using a high end type C display port connector that connects...

Hi all... I am looking at upgrading my old 2012 Mac Mini and replacing my VERY old Mac Cinema displays. I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with using a 4k UHD TV as a display on the new Mac Mini. I largely work in Photoshop and Lightroom and run two monitors right now and I...
i have a Mac Pro 1,1 which has the 2,1 firmware running on it. The machine is running el cap and currently has a
Radeon HD 6870 PC Card which works fine but can’t drive a 4K monitor at 60hz. Are there any reasonably priced cards that would work in el cap and windows 10?
Hello
I cracked the display on my MacBook Pro 13.3" from early 2015. I want to use it as desktop computer with one or two displays. I found this on Mactracker:
Display support:
Supports an HDMI-compatible device, including 4K, while using one Thunderbolt display or support for two Thunderbolt...
Hardware:
1) Late 2015 iMac 27" 5K w/ 3.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 32GB RAM, and AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4096 MB
2) LG 27UK600 (which is the exact same panel / monitor as the LG 27UK650 and LG 27UK850) 4K @ 60Hz monitor (released in 2018)
3) Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor, HDMI cable to monitor

I’ve been reasearching this topic for a week or so, but I haven’t been able to find a conclusive answer yet.
I am considering purchasing a 4K display — specifically the Dell UltraSharp U2718Q...
I Just got a new MacBook Pro (2017, Radeon Pro 560), along with a ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Dock.
I choose this dock, because i read that it does work with a mac.
But the dock's display outputs are not fully usable under MacOs.
Under Windows 10, everything works as it should, 4K@60hz, or dual...
