For that reason, I made this video comparing six of the popular brands of active, two-meter long Thunderbolt 3 cables. I compare...

    Just picked up the Caldigit TS3 Plus after having it on my radar for awhile. Amazon had a pretty enticing deal on it that made me pull the trigger. I have two of the older LG UltraFine 4K displays (the 21.5 inch ones) that both work as normal. Unfortunately, I have yet to be successful in having...

    Mac Mini 2018 + Blackmagic eGPU + LG 5k = boot problem

    Hi, so far I was running a Mac Mini 2018 (i7, 32GB, Mojave 10.14.6) with an LG 5k monitor without any issues. Since the UI performance was a bit choppy, I added a Blackmagic eGPU (580x) today. The Mini is connected via Thunderbolt to the eGPU and the eGPU is connected via Thunderbolt to the LG...

    iMac Pro + Pro Display HDR

    Apologies if this info is already out there somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it. Is it reasonable to assume that the iMac Pro, which can run two external 5K displays, will support two connected Pro Display HDRs, one for each Thunderbolt 3 bus? Does anyone have any concrete info on this?
