One question I have is if I go for the Apple studio display, why would the text not be even smaller (5K) than on a 4k display? The idea is to use the extra pixels on a high-PPI display for greater detail – rather than to blindly use all of the extra pixels for workspace, causing text and objects to become tinier and tinier in the process. That canvas is then scaled onto the actual display. I believe that Retina modes work by letting applications draw onto an internal canvas that has twice as many pixels (in each direction) as the nominal Displays Preferences resolution. I don't know if I have this right or not. I understand that either the text is very small at highest resolution or one can lower the resolution for text but then you are not using the full features of the monitor that you paid for. However, I'm confused on the monitor scaling issue with Macs. I just replaced a 10 year old MBP and would like to upgrade my monitor as well. The majority of my use is for amateur photography and general computing. Now, if the studio display came with a stand similar to BenQs, at the $1500 price point, I would likely just go that direction. Is the whole scaling at 4K issue overblown or something I should consider? I think in all other respects I would be very happy with the BenQ. It would be great to hear from those that use 4K monitors and particularly BenQ with a MBP to get their take. The whole stand issue with the studio display really irks me and I think the BenQ should be an acceptable alternative. I'm leaning towards trying the BenQ PD2725U, but I must purchase any monitor sight unseen. I can’t get 144Hz on either display, so maybe DSC is still broken.I just replaced a 10 year old MBP and would like to upgrade my monitor as well. However, as I understand it, a lot of display fixes were backported to Big Sur in one of the point releases, and I’m on the latest Big Sur release. I can’t upgrade to MacOS Montery as this is a work laptop. However, if I go to System Preferences → Displays → Option-click “scaled resolution” → check “show low resolution modes”, and open the “Hz” menu, both cables allow selecting 120Hz no problem!Īre there only certain cables compatible with the Eve Spectrum? Are Intel Macbooks incompatible with the Eve Spectrum in particular? What do I need to buy, or what can I do? What I didn’t expect is that on a Gigabyte M28U, both cables give I connect to the M28U with either cable, it defaults to 4k 60hz. From the forum posts, I thought this was probably a MacOS issue. This doesn’t seem to change regardless of what settings I tweak.Īfter trying all of this, I decided to try a different monitor. When I connect with the Thunderbolt 4 certified USB-C to USB-C cable, I get no connection at all. I tried to do a custom resolution, but no luck, it said was invalid (though I may have done this wrong - I used the simplified option, but just selected CVT and maybe I should have selected a different option?) SwitchResX gives an option for but not at 4k. However, even so, I have no option to switch to 120hz or 144hz (not even with a lower resolution). When I connect with the USB-C to DP cable, it defaults automatically.
