    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...
