    Just few days ago I switched from triple display setup (5K + 2 x FullHD) to double setup (5K + 4K) for my late 2014 iMac 5K. The new display is Philips BDM4350UC connected via mini display port to display port cable. It runs in 4K @ 60 Hz (had to switch display port 1.1 to 1.2 in display menu)...

The bug is there always when I have the second display attached to the USB-C port. It's a Samsung 1080P display attached with Apple's AV digital...

    So I have a Radeon 450 (low-tier) 2016 15" MBP, and have been following the graphics debacle really closely. My system exhibits some of these issues, in weird ways. First of all: I never got full-screen distortions on the built-in display. I can't help with that. What would happen for me, is...

    Macbook Pro with external screen - who does this?

    I'm toying with the idea of buying either a new MBP with Touch Bar, or the 2015 retina model, and coupling it with an external display (ideally 27") for use in my home office. Who is doing this? And what results are you getting? (speed, heat, fan noise etc)

    2016 Macbook Pros powering 27" 5k Retina iMac?

    Does anyone have a solid grasp on the hardware capabilities on the new MacBook Pros (13 or 15) to know if it'd power the 27" 5k iMac screen? I know I'd need at least a Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 cable, but would that cut it? The LG displays seem to be supported at 5k. The previous...
