My God! The prices on most of these monitors are totally ridiculous!

Hi, sorry newbie here, I got a basic silly question -- it says on Apple website that Macbook Air M2 can support "One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz" - my question is 1) if I connect it to a 4K display, will it be able to show 4K maximally at 60 Hertz too? -- new fan from Malaysia 2) Does the resolution becomes lower (limited) as the display gets bigger say from 27" to 32" ?
@@drbenirusani Exaclty. But keep in mind that the resolution's sharpness/clartiy depends on the monitor itself and not the device. Mac Mini M2 can view in 4K just fine if you manage to get a 4K display in an ideal 4K screen size.
If response time is what you are aiming for, you might wanna consider some gaming displays instead. Take the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 for example. It has response time of only 1ms.
@@Techfluencer Thanks for the fast response. Does it work with Mac? I was looking at the LG 38WN95C-W Monitor, but 38" seems massive to me, but I multi-task a lot, do a lot of tabs at once every day
I use a Mac book pro mid 2015 with retina display. I recently bought a Mac Mini M2 Pro 2023. I bought DELL P2722H(FHD) for monitor since I don't need a 4k display. Since day 1 the fonts in the monitor have been little blur and creating irritation in the eye. I tried connecting a windows cpu and an android mobile, the display seems to be fine. I connected M2 with a 4k Samsung tv and the fonts are fine. When the display setting is set to 1024X576(HiDPI), the fonts displayed in the Dell monitor are fine but 1920X1080 doesn't have a HiDPI. Apple customer support want me to check with another HD display. But I doubt if the display is the problem. Can you give me your take on this? Thanks!!
Maybe you can try to connect using usbc-displayport... Because from what people write, such things are only visible when connecting HDMI. Come back with information.
Do m2 Mac mini support properly with 120 HZ refresh rate monitor or not…….. if yes then plz recommend one good 24 inch , 120 HZ Refresh rate , eye protection technology
Buy Samsung Viewfinity S8 (LS32B200PXE). It might be cheaper than both of what you asked. It is better than P3222QE. When buying U3223QE you pay more for the 2000:1 contrast. Black is like black on Mac laptops, but it is not OLED anyway. If you media creator you do not need to overpay for Dell U-series.
Hi,could you tell me the PPI of any monitor? because if the monitors have a PPI near 110 or 220 is good for Mac, otherwise Mac does a rescaling to re adapt the misure of text and apps and it consumes GPU. thank you
You need to disconnect the HDMI cable and just use the USB-C cable. if you have both cables connected, it messes up and the webcam doesn't show up on OS X.
Connect a Dell u2723qe using the usb c (wich transfer data video and provides 90 watts) to the thunderbolt 4 of the mac mini could be damage the mac mini because this computer doesnt need external energy support? Please help me
