    Best Monitor for M1 Macbook Air?

    Got a M1 Air few months back for work, and it's incredible. Only problem? When I connect it to any 1920x1080 monitor via HDMI the text is pretty fuzzy, which I can't have as I write a lot for work. I figured a 4k monitor would fix this, but I need to be sure the text won't be fuzzy AT ALL...

    Using/buying an external monitor- buying advice

    Hi all- appreciate your opinion on this. I'm using a 2020 M1 Macbook Pro (13"). Love it. I move all over the house. I do, however zoom often and work from my desk. For that setup I fire up my older 21.5" Imac I5 (Late 2012). Unfortunately you cannot use this particular (newer) Macbook with...

    My Macbook air M1 works fine with my AOC 27G2G4 monitor but my Samsung s27r35x turns on for 5 seconds then blank screens. The MacBook recognises the monitor is attached but the monitor is clearly in standby (flashing blue light). It is odd. The monitor seems to "crash". It can only switch...

    MBP 2020 with dual external monitor set up

    Hi everyone, First post here so looking forward to any input. After loads of research I'm still unsure about what monitors to get for my MBP. I've looked online at the evidence for a 110ppi monitor. That basically narrows it down to either a 24inch 1080p or 27 inch 1440p. The third option would...

    Is an external monitor going to put extra strain on my older MacBook's GPU? (no gaming)

    It's an older (2010) 15" MacBook Pro I still own which keeps astounding me on how excellent it still runs after all these years, (I am not a gamer though). The only problem is it's manifesting some GPU glitches sometimes, like when opening some big sized PNG images on Preview (not always...

    Macintosh Plus with connection to an external monitor

    I have a 1986 Mac Plus M0001A. I was one of a few Graphic Designers to use a Mac Plus in NYC to produce my work on a Mac Pus. At the time the screen was to small to do any meaningful work (in Pagemaker), so I had a company wire it to connect to a 21" B/W monitor. I have read that the Mac Plus...

    5K 27“ computer monitor recommendation?

    I'm looking for a 5K 27" computer monitor but it seems there is literally only one option on the market: the LG/Apple UltraFine 5K 27" display. I prefer this resolution at this size because it amounts to 220 PPI, which is 'Retina' (HiDPI) at macOS's native integer scaling. Apparently there...

    Since the first 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display was released in 2014, Apple discontinued Target Display Mode for those models going forward. This was due to various technical limitations that were never overcome -- until today (potentially), with the release of the updated iMac 5K with the...
