    Hi MacBook Air Experts, I currently use a 34-inch ultra-wide monitor at home, and I bring my MacBook Air to work.

    iPad external display randomly turns off (requires iPad restart)

    I haven’t been able to find a thread that talks about this, so I apologize if I’ve missed one.

The monitor has a keyboard/mouse attached via USB as well (the monitor...

I downloaded Jump Desktop to RDP over SSH into my work machine (amazing app, btw) and hooked up my iPad to...

    Late 2013 15" MBP 4k@60Hz external monitor integrated GPU

    I'm curious if the A1398 2013 - 2014 15" MacBook Pros can drive an external 4k display at 60Hz over thunderbolt DisplayPort using the integrated GPU. It's working great for me but it's making me use the dedicated GPU. If I force the integrated GPU using gfxStatus, the external display remains...

    Support for up to two external displays (with the laptop lid closed)

    I was just thinking how I should've waited for 13" M3 Air 24GB+2TB before getting the 13" M2 Air 24GB+2TB in October 2023. But I see this on the M3 product page : Support for up to two external displays (with the laptop lid closed) I mean, even if I had gone with M3 Air, I wouldn't be able to...

    I am looking at upgrading my 2017 27" iMac to a new M3 iMac. One of the criteria is that I can hook up a 2nd monitor. I really value the additional screen real estate, because I do a lot of video conferencing and comparing documents. I noticed that there is a limitation with the new iMacs in...

    Best 27" display for a late 2013 Macbook Pro with the highest ppi?

    I'm looking for the closest resolution to the retina screen as I can find, while still being compatible with my older macbook pro (13" late 2013). I don't like blocky text and that's most important to me in terms of improvement. I have a 4k 27" msi monitor and the text is not great. It's scaled...

    Anyone use both a XDR in HDR and Studio Display in SDR?

    I currently have a 27 inch Intel iMac from 2020 and pair it with a LG 27GP950-B monitor. When enabling HDR on the LG monitor, everything looks dull and awful. I think it's because Mac isn't rendering the UI correctly to adapt to HDR. If I replaced this setup with a Mac Studio along with one XDR...

    External display looks bad on M1 MacBook Pro and M2 Mac Mini

    So I just bought my first Mac Mini (the new M2) but noticed that the colors of the screen are bad. They are really inaccurate. Before I used the Mac Mini, I used a Hackintosh for about 3 years and never had any issues with the colors (using the same monitor). To make sure I wasn't going crazy...
