    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...

    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...
