    Difficulty waking up MSI 321URX

    Connected to my 321URX is my MacBook Pro M3 Pro. I usually keep it closed and then interact with it using my Magic Keyboard + Trackpad. However I often have difficulty waking up the monitor. If the Mac just went to sleep, then waking it up by key presses or the trackpad usually works. If it’s...

    16" 120hz OLED portable monitors recently coming to Aliexpress

    I ended up buying this and am absolutely hooked on OLED. It's got rich colors and inky blacks. It's glossy so keeping ambient light sources down is critical. It's also the first time I'm on a 120hz display so scrolling is buttery smooth. My laptop feels supercharged with all this goodness. I'm...

    I've searched for monitors on eBay, Best Buy/Amazon used/open box and Facebook marketplace. Which manufacturers are likely to still honor warranty by looking at manufactured date say via a serial number rather than requiring you to have a receipt and be the original owner?

    how do I know if this portable monitor is a touch screen?

    I got a portable monitor that was a bit different than what I ordered, because of that I have trouble identfying it. It sure looks a lot like this 3K portable that is touch capable but it also looks like this one which is not touch capable how do I test it for touch? I have some iOS/Mac devices...

    how to buy a new display?

    I went to some stores to look at displays. There aren't many of them, but I did see OLED and IPS side by side and while I like the deeper blacks/richer colors on the OLED, I also notice black fonts don't look crisp as there's color bleeding from the edges when compared to the IPS. Oh and I also...

    how to buy a new display?

    I'm using a dell 30" 2560x1600 right now. It's a bit old so I'm looking to upgrade. I'm not sure how to pick out a new display. I thought resolution would be king as I like high DPI but 6-8k displays are cost prohibitive. There is a 5K display from LG that can be found for $500 used or less, but...

    what to do with twin dell 30" LCDs from 2007

    I have two Dell 3007WFP (one is an HC) from the 2007 era. They run at 2560x1600 on Dual-Link DVI, not too hard to drive with current laptops but you need a rather pricey display port to Dual-Link DVI adapter. Are these worth anything today? They're bulky. I'd like to sell it to someone (for...

    Two Ventura Macbooks have different behavior for my display

    I have a 3k portable 13" display. The resolution is 3200x1800. That means it should run at high DPI at 1600x900. I also have two Macbooks. One is a MBP Intel 2018 and the other is the MBA M1. The MBP runs it either 3200x1600 with super tiny everything or 1600x900 and pixelated. The MBA runs...

    big jump in price from 4k to 5k. why?

    4K monitors are plenty and around the $300 price range. To go to 5k it's looking at $1000 or higher for similar physical display size but more pixels. Why is that?

    In Mac's Disk Utility I can see my external hard drive. However it is not mounted and when I attempt to do so it spins forever and eventually errors out. I've tried this a few times. One time after rebooting I saw it was mounted for like 15 seconds but then unmounted shortly after. I don't know...
