    New Monitor 25" ACER....works great.

    Newegg had this on sale for $109 and got it in two days without shipping cost... great image...easy on the eyes and the two inches bigger than what I was using makes a difference.

    Mac Mini late 2012 with LG 34UC98 at 3440x1440

    Hi everybody, I read that my mac mini could potentially run the screen I want to buy, but not sure if I need a thunderbolt cable, or I can just use the mini-displayport to displayport I currently use on my Asus 27" (which runs at 2560x1440). Because if the thunderbolt is not required, I could...

    Where are the monitor resolutions hiding?

    I just bought a new 29 inch wide LG monitor (29UM58). It wants a resolution not available on my Mac Mini running El Capitan. What? 2560 x 1080 (whatever!) and as a result I get a 4 inch black area on each side of the screen. It would be great to use the whole screen but LG tech support is no...
