    Dual monitor LG G950 UHD 4k@120hz setup on M1 Max?

    Hey everyone, I've been researching this topic for the past week, but I couldn't find any clear answer. While the specs on the Apple's website state that the M1 Pro and M1 Max can run at least 2 external monitors at 6k@60hz, I was wondering if anyone tested the M1 Max in a dual monitor setup...

    Hi, I have a 2021 14" m1 mbp, and would like to connect it to two 5120x2880 monitors. I know I cannot daisy chain two LG Ultrafine 5ks, or two Apple Studio Displays, but I wasn't sure if I could daisy chain two PROLITE XB2779QQS-S1s.

    I have a 24" M1 iMac connected to a nearby TV via a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Basically I want to occasionally use the TV to mirror the iMac, but most of the time I will be using the iMac screen only. The problem is, after I turn off the TV, there seems to be no way to make the iMac stop mirroring...

    Hello there,I just got a Dell P2422H display, and when I first plugged it into my m1 MacBook Air, it worked seamless, there was no underscan.

    Macbook Pro M1 Pro hdmi issue with (older) external monitor (green-ish tint)

    I got recently new MBP M1. The device is great but upon connecting it to my external display (old Gateway FHD2400, 24", 1920x1200) the picture is illegible (looks like it's out of phase, pixelated and with green-ish tint). The same monitor works great with my previous MBP (15" early 2013...

    Dell S2721QS & M1 Macbook

    Hi Been waiting almost 1 year to use my M1 Macbook Air with an external display. Currently have a couple of Dell U2415H monitors, and I realize non-4K monitors won't cut it, with Monterey, in terms of text sharpness. Hence decided to go for a 4K. So would appreciate if anyone using the Dell...

    will an M1 laptop solve my fan issue with external display?

    My 2015 MacBook Pro 15" finds it hard to drive an external 4k display, and the fans go crazy when watching YouTube full screen, even 720p. This is over DisplayPort, and also happened with a 2017 MacBook Pro 13" nTB. I use it in clamshell mode, so it doesn't even have to drive 2 displays...
