This is exactly what I'm considering this monitor for. Do you have one and use it with a mac? I've read so many negative comments regarding scaling issues that I'm wondering if this will work.
I think one more downside to add is that it does not support native scaling. If you use the HiDPI resolution, either the fonts are too small or too big.
Great review, just didn't understood when he said that the Mac only supports 1 external monitor, I have been using 2-3 external monitors ever since my old intel mac without any issue, except when I connected a 3rd, the performance would dropped significantly, and even connected once the iPad as a 4th monitor, they were all versions with dedicated video card tho. Currently using 3 monitors with my M2 Pro Max without any performance issue, but just read that the regular M1 and M2 version supposedly have this limitation, super weird, when I have no such limitation in my old 2018 i9 Mac.
1:41⁉ How did you rotate the display? I can't seem to get the option on my M1-13in , is it with USB-C or HDMI❓ "rotate display" only pops up on my M1-13in when I disconnect the Dualup in the "Hold Option+system settings>Hold Option+display" ❗Doesn't give me the option when I connect with USB-C... 🤷♂
I'm curious to know. If I need to use Picture by Picture, will macOS respect the aspect ratio of the split resolution? It's my personal experience that Macs can be a pain in the rear with PbP on 16:9 monitors due to it not respecting 8:9.
macOS will just think its two separate displays I don't think its a big issue, I am planning on buying this monitor and I'll test it out and let you know.
Did you use the OnScreen LG software on your mac in tandem with DisplayLink software? Really love this display but need to research it beforehand. I'm thinking of adding this to my iMac M1
I create music and use Protools and that usually takes up tons of real-estate. This looks like it will be my new pick up for my music production set up.
If it was 220 dpi then I would be totally interested. I really want three x 24 inch (4.5k) displays in portrait mode fused together as a one 8k display
Some people don't have a lot of stuff to get done on their personal computer, their work is other stuff and they rarely need to do computer related admin work at home. For them, the computer may be purely an entertainment device
Wait, what? The brand of laptop that is specifically targeted at graphic designers can only handle one external monitor? Man, Apple really doesn't seem to like their own customers very much.
Really, the Pros use Airs that support one external monitor, PROBABLY they use something that has PRO in the name that supports more than one external monitor. Apple products are expensive enough, so why make a lower end & lower cost laptop support a PRO feature? Also it is not mostly an artificial limitation as Apple loves to do as additional applicable functionality is built into the next higher level processor package. This monitor is $800, if somebody is trying to save money on the laptop but spend this much on a monitor it would suggest that they are not aware of other viable options to get what they “need” for less.
Why would you prefer the Mateview? I’m trying to decide between these exact two monitors for productivity. Lots of pdfs open at once while writing. But can’t figure out which one is best for what i’ll use it for. Any thoughts?
