    How attach TWO external monitors to my iMac 27"

    I have a 27 inch iMac, 2020 (retina 5k). How do I attach TWO external monitors to my iMac? (I will be using 2 VESA arms attached to my desk.) Does iMac support this and what type of extra hardware will I need to purchase?

    Dillemma: What monitor solution for MBP, with high pixel density and large real estate?

    I have a 2015 iMac 5K 27" and a 27" LED Cinema display, side by side now.This is being replaced by an M1 Max 16" soon, so I'm looking for a new monitor solution. My plan is to use the 16" display of the MBP along with my desktop monitor, so no matter what I choose, I'll have the "dual monitor...

    Dell S3221Q Monitor for Macbook Pro

    Over a direct usb/thunderbolt to displayport connection, for the native 4k resolution, every few (3-5) seconds, the Dell S3221QS monitor goes black for 0.5 seconds at 60Hz. Lowering the refresh rate to 50Hz makes it every 20 or so seconds. At 30Hz, it holds a stable image over displayport...

    Suitability of iMac as Extended Display for MacBook Pro

    I just tried to use my 4-year old iMac Pro as a (5k) display for a new MacBook Pro 16. The MacBook is roughly twice as fast as the iMac. Unfortunately, it looks as if it is not reasonable to reuse the iMac as a monitor for the MacBook. Extending the display was not very difficult settings...

    stuttering image with apple tv on external monitor via hdmi

    So yesterday I connected my 4K TV to my MBP via the HDMI Port to watch apple TV. But it's kinda unwatchable because the image begins to stutter every 30 seconds or so for 1-2 seconds, which is super annoying. Anyone got any clue why this could be? Image quality was flawless otherwise. This was...

    Smallest size FHD monitor (Eizo?)

    I am looking for an advice on [reasonably priced / used] Full HD monitor with proper color rendition (preferably >90% Adobe RGB) and smallest pixel size (and therefore overall physical size, 22" or ideally less than that). Surprisingly this turned to be a non-trivial problem: say, there are...

    Eksternal monitor problem - 50 and 60 Hz not available in OSX 12.0.1

    Hello, I just updated to 12.0.1 and now my NEC 4010 doesn't work. Under previous OSX it has been possible to choose 1920x1080 with 50 or 60 Hz. Now the only settings I am getting is 25 or 30 Hz, which the monitor doesn't accept. Also the resolutions given in system settings are much fewer...

    Any way to change BPC of a monitor in macOS?

    Hi, hope all are well! Is there any possible way to change a monitor's BPC setting? For some reason this monitor is defaulting to 10bpc, however it's causing flickering. It happens in Windows too. Once I set it to 8bpc it worked fine. I need to set it to 8bpc in macOS too. How can this be done...

    Monitor for new Macbook 16" M1 Max

    I've ordered a new MacBook 16" M1 MAX to finally replace my MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2014... It's been a hard-working little thing for many years but I think it's time to put it up for retirement. So I also need to replace my ageing Thunderbolt display with something more of this decade...

    LG UltraFine 5K Display

    Is it a bad idea to purchase the LG UltraFine 5K Display? I know it came out in 2016, so there must be new technology? I am using an older 27 inch Apple thunderbolt monitor from 2011-2012. I will be replacing my 2015 MacBook Pro soon. I have a busy Etsy store so I need to edit pictures and...
