    USB-C vs thunderbolt monitor

    Hi there folks, got a debate going on for my future computer on what type of monitor to get. I plan on buying a new Mac mini M2 and I am not sure if I want to spend a lot of money on a 5K monitor. I seemed pretty content with a 4K but I been reading most of them are USB-C ready but not...

    Black screen on 4K monitor with unsupported Mac Mini 2011 and OpenCore Legacy Patcher

    Hello! I have an old Mac Mini 2011 that I upgraded to Monterey thanks to Opencore Legacy Patcher. It works perfectly with HDMI on a 1080p monitor, but on a 4K monitor it shows a black screen :-( The signal seems to be received by the 4K monitor, since it doesn’t show ”No signal”. Does anyone...

    There is not a problem with modern Macs and "4K scaling"

    I have posted this information so many times now in forums and on video comments that I put together some wise words from a Mac video hardware expert (not myself) and accounts of my own, personal experience with my somewhat odd, 4K-like display (~140dpi) that needs to be scaled like a 4K...

    Mac Quality Monitor for MacBook Air

    I've used variations of MacBook Pro's since first switching to Mac in 2007 and recently went from a 2016 Retina MacBook Pro to the new MacBook Air. I bought a 24" 1080p monitor for around £200 knowing the resolution wouldn't be as high, but damn. It was ugly after coming from a Mac display. I...

    MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017) fan go full speed and becomes loud when connected to a 4k external monitor

    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...

    MacBook Air M1 with 4K monitor

    Hey, I was thinking about getting a new external monitor for my MacBook Air M1. From what I can tell, the Dell P2721Q 27-inch 4K USB-C Monitor seems like a good choice. I would like to get 4K at 60Hz through USB-C, so that I can use the Monitor-MacBook as a "one-cable-setup" . From what I...

    Hi guys, I'm looking for a little help here :) I'm not quite convinced with the changes in the font rendering that Mojave brought us, because I use an external monitor LCD and it looks a little off even doing all the configuration changes that are "recommended" that supposedly "fix" this issue...

    Mac Mini Workstation?

    I have a mid-2017 Macbook Air. I am planning on getting the new mini to be a workstation for video editing, 3D modeling. Then I can use my Air on the go and at school. Is that a good plan? Also, any suggestions for a cheap 4k monitor? Thanks

Right now, basically the two only real options I can see are "3840x2160 (low resolution)," which...

Can it handle more than one? Is there any size limit? for an example, can it handle 4k 32 monitor at 60 hz? Do you have any...
