Quick post here to show my custom monitor stand. I found a few online I liked, but none really matched my desk, so I had an old shelf in the basement that I repurposed into a monitor stand. I used wood screws and some rubber bushings from the hardware store and inserted them through some black...

Hi all—
Just bought an Anker USB-C hub with 4K HDMI output. I have an old Asus 1080p 27” monitor, and figured if I paired the two up with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard I could have a pretty nice big-screen iPad hookup. It works! Except, the output is smaller than it should be. I know the iPad...
Hi All,

Hello everyone.
Several months ago I built a gaming PC and connected it to an Acer XF270HUA monitor.
It's stunning: 1440p, 144Hz, 4ms, IPS, FreeSync, thin bezels. I like it.
I like it so much that I wanna connect my MacBook Pro to it when I'm not gaming and simply use it as my main monitor...
We are getting ready to buy a 4K 24” or 27” monitor to replace our ~10+ year old 23” Apple Cinema Display. We are using Safari, Mail, Omnifocus, iTunes and Photos on a daily basis on a new 2018 Mac mini. We'd love to have our next monitor last as long and perform as well as our current one...
I have a late-2015 imac 27 inch and will be acquiring a 2018 mac mini in the near future. Mac mini will be used largely headless for a plex server, but I would like to have a monitor that works well with both the imac and the mac mini, as needed.
Any suggestions? Prefer high quality screen but...

Hi! I’m an IT guy running the single Mac system in a network of 8000 Windows machines. Currently my office has my MacBook Pro (with a Wacom interactive display beside it as the second monitor, which is too dim to use regularly), which I use for 90% of my work, but I also have a number of...

Would appreciate if you guys could help me with some suggestions.
The specs that I'm looking for, are:

I'm hunting for a monitor to use with an incoming standing desk. All the threads I've found on here were over a year old, and most of the articles I've seen were targeted at gamers or creative professionals. I'm neither of those, but I am looking for a USB-C monitor that will charge my 2018 15"...

The last TV I bought was a "box" TV I bought over a decade ago. I have always wanted a wide screen TV and, now that I watch Netflix, movies, and TV shows on my computer and flat screen TVs are becoming cheaper and more computer-compatible, it seems like a good time to buy one...
