    Will FaceTime stream 1080p from a 3rd-party cam on a 720p iMac?

    I want to improve the webcam on my 2017 720p iMac running Monterey. First of all, if I purchase a third-party1080p or higher webcam, can it use the full 1080p or 4K resolution on FaceTime calls, or will it downsize the stream to 720p on an older iMac? Secondly, are there any webcams you...

    iMac 2015 27" Backlight Bleed

    Hello, I have a late 2015 27" iMac which has sadly been plagued with the backlight bleed issue. It is pretty severe with the ghosting and discoloration. I was curious, though, if I was to replace the LCD with another one off of eBay, it would have the same issue sooner or later, correct? Because...

    Mac Studio Display vs iMac 24

    After the announcement of the Mac Studio display, I was underwhelmed. The display is gorgeous, but spending £1,500 on the display alone with an iMac sitting a couple hundred cheaper is making me question the value I will get from this display vs the price. Another display is out the question, I...

    Do 2020 5k models exhibit any UI/animation lag or stutters?

    I have a beloved mid 2014 13 inch MacBook Pro which has always had stuttering animations for things like scrolling, opening folders, going full screen etc. due to underpowered iGPU for the retina resolution. We’ve come a long way since then, so is there any of these less-than-60fps animations on...

    IMac v Studio Display

    Can someone help me please. I was looking at the specs of the new Studio Display and beyond the larger size is there any advantage in buying one of those (to use with my MacBook Pro) rather than an iMac. It seems to me that if I got the Studio display (and then had to buy a keyboard and mouse...

    27" iMac is dead 😟

    Did anyone just catch John Ternus saying... "making our transition nearly complete with only one product left to go, the Mac Pro" That sound like the 27" iMac will not get updated to Apple Silicon. I hope it's not true. ?

    Catch 22 - Can’t log on to iMac

    Hi, I stupidly turned off Bluetooth on my iMac and then restarted it the machine. The problem is I only have a Bluetooth keyboard and don’t have easy access to a wired keyboard, so I can’t get back in. If it makes any difference, I cave a Windows Laptop, an iPhone and an iPad handy. If you have...
