    DP DDC Monitor Control

    There is ongoing work to fix DP Monitor control via slider and hot keys here: Waydabber's fork of MonitorControl. With the latest build I have had good luck with my Dell U3818DW on Big Sur 11.5.

    Is it possible to update or tweak the USB_A-to-HDMI adapter firmware to make it compatible with a Mac?

    I bought a USB 3.0 (USB-A) to HDMI adapter but was too late to notice it wouldn't work with Mac - Windows only; as such my Mac simply won't recognize my Sony TV. Unfortunately a return is not possible due to the damaged package, so I thought since there's the Device Firmware Update mode which is...

    Use windows laptop screen as secondary (or primary) monitor for Mac Mini M1?

    Can I use my Windows laptop screen as a secondary (or primary) monitor for my Mac Mini M1? It is a HP Zbook X2 and has 2x Thunderbolt 3 Ports, 1x HDMI port, 1x USB 3 port. I am pretty sure it is possible with a Samsung Tab S7.

    M1-based Macs, latest Big Sur, and Kodi capabilites as HTPC

    Hi :) I'm wondering if anyone is using an M1 Mac and Kodi for HTPC purposes? Or might test it for me ;) I know that Big Sur supports HDR output, but this might not translate to video content being put out via HDMI with the proper HDR metadata and so on. I also see that the first release of Big...

    Hello, I am having an issue with my Macbook Pro when trying to connect to my TV via an HDMI cable. Have never had this issue with any other Mac or PC.

    I have an M1 MBP. I connect it to my external display (DELL S2721QS) using a HyperDrive Viper hub. When my MBP is in clamshell mode, the external display works at 4K 60Hz resolution.

    Connecting my old 2009 Mac Mini to a new 4K TV?

    Hi, I have a late 2009 Mac Mini that I’d like to hook up to one the HDMI inputs on a new Samsung 4K TV. The Mini supports up to 1920x1200 by itself but I also have the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter which allows it to support 2560x 1600. It also has a mini DVI port. My question is...

    Would My Apple TV 4K and LG CX OLED TV Benefit from an HDMI 2.1 Cable?

    I’m currently using an HDMI 2.0 cable. Would I benefit by upgrading to an HDMI 2.1 cable? As far as future proofing goes, I wonder if the next Apple TV hardware will take advantage of the HDMI 2.1 technology.

    Fitness+ Fitness+ on TV using iPad USB-C to HDMI?

    For those without an Apple TV but have an iPad with USB-C and want to experience Fitness+ on a big screen TV, does Apple "allow you" to mirror the display to a TV via HDMI? Is there some kind of HDCP protection that prevents this, presumably to force people to purchase Apple TVs?

    Daisy Chain Dell monitor on M1 Mac Mini?

    Since the M1 Mac Mini only supports 1 display with each port type, would it be possible to use dual Dell monitors through 1 USB C/Thunderbolt port by using daisy chaining of the DP 1.2 port? HDMI has been causing major issues with black screens and flashing so I am looking to use just the USB C...
