    Really confused in choosing a 27" display for a new Mac mini

    Googling you can come up with several "best monitors" lists but with two problems: a) There's almost no overlap between each of them so it's hard to find a model that is present in more than one list b) Almost invariably the exact reviewed models are NOT to be found in amazon.it or other vendors...

    Monitor Choice to Complement a new 27" iMac

    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...

I bought 3 Dell P2419H monitors a few months back on Amazon (for work from home). When I'm using the work laptop (HDMI from the...

    Can you hook a USB-C hub in between a MBP and a monitor?

    Hello there, I'm currently looking for a new monitor for my MBP16". While searching, I noticed that some monitors (well, one actually, the Philips 499P9H/00) have an Ethernet port on the back to connect to. So you could connect the monitor through the Thunderbolt 3 port on the back and then...
