    Two 5k Ultrafines, Parallels, Windows10 and Excel

    I have two 5K Ultra-fine displays, connected to 2016MBPro, 2.9 16GB,Radeon460 2TBSSD. Top of the line everything. I solved the monitor random disconnects by moving the wifi router 4 feet from the monitors - thanks for that suggestion. Now dual 5K monitors work fine - except when going into...

    Why No Apple-made Next-Gen/5K Display?

    I just had this realization: Apple has made a 5K display for a while now -- it just happens to be glued to a computer (the iMac). Now that there's finally USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 available to pipe 5K video to an external display, why haven't they simply taken their iMac 5K Retina and made a...

    Anybody running 27" 4K monitors in 1440p scaled mode?

    Hi guys, I'm debating to get some new displays for my Mac Pro 6.1. My eyes want the retina effect ;) So the question is either jump right in and get two dell 2715k. Or maybe two 2715Q will be just fine for me. But I have never seen a 4K display run at scaled 1440p mode and have no clue how it...

    LG Ultrafine 4k/5k with PS4 Pro?

    Has anyone tried the 4k or 5k displays with the PS4 Pro? I use my monitor for my PS4 sometimes and want to be able to benefit from the Pro hardware if I want to. I would obviously use an adapter for HDMI.

    Will I be happy with an LG Ultrafine 4K?

    I am a graphic designer and just got a 15" MBP. I have it hooked up to a Thunderbolt Display at work and I am wanting a TB3 display at home. What I really want is the new 5K LG UF, but there is no telling when that thing is going to be available? I was considering driving 200+ miles away to pick...

    5K and dual 4K displays on 15 rMBP 2016

    Hello everyone, I'm not sure anyone would actually be able to test this before I do, but if at least the theory agrees with me I hope I'm good. I want to use one 5K display (LG UltraFine) as well as 2 4K (3840*2160) displays with my 15" rMBP 2016. If I understand everything correctly, I'll be...

    LG 5K display w/eGPU? TB3 output?

    I have a new 2.9 Ghz 15" MBP on order, to be delivered some time between the 17th and 25th. Taking advantage of the recent discount, I also plan to order one - possibly two - of the 27" LG 5K displays before the end of the year. Ugly bezel aside, I look forward to the screen real estate. While...

    How practical is it to use the base 13 model with 5K display? (looking for purchasing advice)

    The new base model of MacBook Pro, the one without Touch Bar, is theoretically capable of driving two 4k displays or one 5k display in addition to the internal one. My question is, with the Iris 540 GPU and a downgrade of CPU class (from a regular 13-inch Pro's 28/29W to Air's 15W), is it...
