![]() The laptops are connected either via Thunderbolt 4/USB-C cables (OWC 2m cable and the cables came with the monitors) or a OWC Thunderbolt 4 dock (and USB-C or Thunderbolt from there). Even the scaling at 4k is fine: 4k scaled to 2560x1440, which is okay at 27". To my surprise, even the Adaptive Sync with 144Hz works on the Eve Spectrum monitor. ![]() The latter is my daily driver for work, and personal computing.Īll the monitors work fine with all the Macbooks. I am running a 16" MacBook Pro (2019), M1 MacBook Air and an 14" MacBook Pro with M1 Max. So how does the entire professional industry working with Apple computers manage to start their day, every day, like this? Am I insane? Is no one else dealing with this? Are you all just using the built in display? This has been going on for YEARS for me, across multiple generations of devices. I hoped that, being a device that requires an external display, they at least worked it out with this one. I'm at a breaking point after ordering this $4k desktop Mac Studio and waiting 3 months for it to arrive. And as far as I can tell, no one has an answer. All of the problems I have, as far as I can tell, other people experience. Searching the internet, I can't be alone. In the time of owning any of these devices, I have without exaggeration, not once had the expected experience of sitting down at my desk and starting my day without fighting my computer to work properly with my monitor. It's never all at once, but it's always at least one thing. Most reliably of all, failure to wake from sleep without plugging/unplugging doing a dance with power cycling my monitor or device until it finally works, or just giving up and logging into my Windows PC because today I can't use my Apple computer Forced scaling, detecting monitor as a TV and using interlacing Failure to support native resolution on any high resolution monitors Visual artifacts like snow, lines, flickering I have all but eliminated any of these components being the problem.ĭepending on the device and the day I will get: All combinations work flawlessly with anything that is not one of the Apple devices. For one of those models, I had three of the exact same model. ![]() I have tried 4 different brands and models of monitor. I now know way more than I would ever care to know about DisplayPort and HDMI protocols. ![]() I have read DisplayPort specs, I know every brand of certified cable. I have spent countless dollars on cables and adapters in an attempt to find the magic combination. I also have had in that timespan three different Windows desktops that I have built and a ThinkPad running Windows or Linux depending on the mood. I own four different Apple computers - a 2017 MacBook Pro, an M1 MacBook Air, an M1 MacBook Pro, and most recently a maxed out Mac Studio. ![]()
