    Will this fix my Thunderbolt Monitor?

    I have a nice old school 27" Apple Thunderbolt monitor. I have opened it up after acquiring it and cleaned it out etc. It has one issue. After a bit of use, the smell that comes from it is caustic. I have heard this smell is from a failing power supply and that this is a known thing. My monitor...

    Using Mac Mini with iMac monitor… Is it possible?

    If I purchase the top of the line newest version of the Mac Mini can I hook it up to my 2013 27 inch iMac and use that monitor instead of buying a new monitor right now? Will my programs run slower if I can?

    Display Arrangement Changes Automatically

    I have a MacBook Pro that I use on the go as well as my "desktop" machine connected to 2x 27" monitors via a thunderbolt dock. I can't seem to figure out why when I disconnect my MacBook and go to work and then come back and plug it back into the dock the display arrangement changes. The left...

    Connect 2015 MBP to an external monitor

    Hi all, I'm using a MacBook Pro 13" (early 2015). I'd like to connect it to my docking station at work, to connect an external monitor, mouse & keyboard. This MBP has no USB-C however, which the dock uses. I tried a USB-A to USB-C dongle, but only the keyboard & mouse work. My Mac does not...

    iPad Pro does not allow external monitor to sleep?

    Hi All, I've been experimenting with the new external monitor support + stage manager. It is pretty impressive so far - iPad Pro connected to Apple Studio display really increases screen real estate. I notice that when my iPad dims internal screen, the external screen goes black but the...

    M2 Mac Mini Pro monitor recommendation?

    Guys I’m looking for advice concerning buying a new monitor for the Mac mini M2 pro. My current monitor is an 8 year old Samsung 34” UW (3440 x 1440) monitor. It works well enough but I can only connect it to the Mini via HDMI (50Hz refresh). If I try to use DisplayPort (DP) it has issues...

    Bugs all across the ecosystem

    Hello folks. I couldn't find a correct forum (some general discussion about Apple products ... maybe I am blind) for this topic hence I am posting it here. (in case a Mod finds a better forum, be my guest and I apologize) I moved to the "ecosystem" a few years ago and now I own all the stuff...

    Which One? $400 43” Samsung M70B or LG C2 42” OLED as a Monitor

    Hi everyone, I’ve set up a second workspace that will also double as my gaming… hub? Mainly for gaming on Switch and smaller games on Mac. I’m debating between two screen: The Samsung M470B that’s 400 bucks, or an LG C2 42” OLED. Both have their pros and cons (mainly price). I don’t know if...

    If Your iMac's Monitor Breaks Will It Automatically Use an External Monitor?

    Hello Apple friends. Supposing your iMac's monitor breaks (the GPU and the rest are ok for example) but you have an external monitor plugged it, will the Mac's firmware (or something else) automatically use the external monitor so you could still see what's going on? If yes, did you need to...

    Eyeball agony with new Air M2, even with external monitor

    Longtime Mac user, never had any problems til the iPhone 13 came out. The screen looked so sharp, and yet it was like I couldn't get my eyeballs to "land" on it. Always felt like I was looking a little through it, and it gave me near-immediate eye-burning forehead headaches. I went with the SE...

    Is this 90Hz 400 nits desktop display the best for people who find 27" too large?

    I was disappointed with the new desktop monitors at CES. There was nothing new that is affordable for most people (or you could persuade your employer to buy). The Samsung 5K will be >$1000, and the Dell 6K is basically the same idea but an even larger panel. Also, I can never get used to 27"...

    Any way to make fuzzy text on Dell 24" crisper?

    A local thrift shop find was the $25 purchase of a Dell 24” E4217H monitor. I’ve rigged it as my second monitor. What I don’t like is the text is fuzzy, especially when looking at the Dell 27” P2721Q next to it. Is there any way to make the 24” monitor text resolution crisper, using any...

    Monitor / VESA Arm questions

    I bought a factory-refurbished M1 Mac Mini from Apple a few months ago. I did not have the money to buy a new monitor to go with it, but I eventually plan to build up enough money to buy a new 27-inch or 32-inch 4K or 5K monitor for my Mini. For now, I am using a very old Acer AL1716W color...

    Monitor compatibility for current Mini?

    When the M1 mini came out, I bought one to replace an old mini, which I use with two old HP monitors. I found it didn't work with my monitors, which I stubbornly insist on using (HP LP2465, link to specs here). These monitors don't have HDMI, so of course i connect them via adapters. At the...
