    I'm looking to replace (or run side by side) my current monitor which kind of sucks, it's a LG flatron e2742v. Primary use would be for photography with some games tossed in. I'm not a hardcore gamer, maybe some GTA or something here and there. I'm not all about fps. Looking at least 27" with...

    Layer of humidity on the display

    I've just noticed this sort of layer of humidity on my iMac display. I clean it with a cloth but in less than an hour or so it reappears. My house is humid in winter, maybe that's just water vapor condensing on the screen? Is there any definitive solution to this that you know of? As a...

    Help me understand better why Apple prefers AMD over Nvidia?

    I found this on Quora : "Apple is using AMD for a reason other then battery life. Apple makes the Macbook pro 2 5k monitor capable by having 4 display port 1.2 channels, Nvidia maxes at 3 channels, so until this is changed Apple might stick with AMD." Please help me understand this paragraph...

    As the title, any recommendations? A little tight on budget and I'm not sure that most third party monitors are well adapted to Apple. I've tried an Asus 27" 4k monitor with DisplayPort to thunderbolt 2 but on that resolution the images were minuscule.
