    Dell U4320Q defaults to 1080p on Mac but Monitor shows a 3840 x 2160 connection.

    I am a bit confused how my Mac scales a 4 K monitor and if I am truly getting 4K or retina mode on my Dell 4320Q. When I got my Dell U4320Q the text was huge and bright on the default setting. I discovered later in the Display Preferences that this is running as “like 1080p”. Meanwhile the...

    A 4K 24 inch matte "Retina" Display does exist, and I just bought one! [Review]

    I have been on the hunt for a 4K 24 inch monitor, and finally I found one! The Electriq Eiq-244kMHDR. It has a light matte AG coating, 10 bit IPS panel, 300 nits, and costs £140 ($190). Text looks ultra-smooth like a printed page on this screen! It works perfectly with my Mac and is detected...

    Looking to add more RAM to my late 2014 8gb iMac...which configuration would be better?

    This might be a really dumb question but will it make a big difference if I add 16gb (8gb x 2) to the empty two slots on my iMac or would it be just as fast adding 8gb (4gb x 2)? I hear different things about RAM and I have heard in some situations if you have different size RAM there is not a...

    DO NOT buy the iMac 21.5 with 1080p display

    Seriously, I did that and I regretted it so much that I ended up reselling it and buying the 2017 21.5 Retina 4K (of course, I lost a few hundred $/€ with that). I wasn't aware before that there is such a HUGE difference between a Full HD and a 4K display, but there actually is and it's big. The...
