The refresh rate is measured in hertz (Hz). Refresh rate: This refers to the number of times the display refreshes per second.You can choose an LCD panel built on IPS, TN, or VA technology or opt for cutting-edge OLED panels if the budget allows.
Display and panel type: This is the major factor when it comes to quality and performance.The higher the pixel density, the better the image quality, as you're less likely to see individual pixels. Pixel density: Measured in pixels per inch (PPI), pixel density describes how closely-packed the pixels are on the display.Your decision ultimately depends on your budget and available space. Larger, 32-inch and ultrawide monitors are also available. Smaller, 24-inch displays remain popular with gamers, and people who have minimal desk space. Size: Most displays are around the 27-inch mark.Higher resolutions, like 4K and 5K, require more powerful hardware. Generally, the higher the resolution, the better the image quality. Resolution: This is the number of pixels displayed onscreen at once, measured on two axes (e.g., 1920 x 1080).Here are some things to consider before you choose a monitor: Your budget will play a large role here, so first, decide what you want to spend, and which features are most important to you. Arguing here is of no value and will not change the spec.First, you have to pick the right monitor for the job. Sorry that your computer does not do what you need it to do. You can buy a Mac that supports multiple external displays. The hardware is different (different cpu) and the specifications are very clear (one external display). The computer you purchased does not support your needs so you are now arguing that it should. It sounds like you purchased a lower priced computer assuming it would have the same capability as a higher priced computer with the higher spec chip. Only by voicing this can we hope for change otherwise next they will remove the headphone jack and claim the M3 cant support it because the mac has inbuilt speakers.įWIW, There are differences in capabilities, functionality, and price points. The M2 is an amazing tool and perfectly capable of driving these displays, the people making feature rationing decisions at Apple are the problem. It’s mad that Intel i3’s from 2012 could do multi monitor but the M1/2 cant. It’s anti-consumerism to lock out functions on hardware that can support them. This is more like saying I bought a drill that had the ability to drill 3" inch holes but the onboard sensor detected when i used over a 2” hole saw and stopped the drill from turning. It limits you to two monitors (just like the M1 Mini), but it is more flexible about how you can attach them. The M2 Mini is also listed as having Thunderbolt 4. So Apple Silicon Macs based on the more capable Pro, Max, and Ultra chips are shown as having Thunderbolt 4 support in their technical specifications. One of the things a computer needs for TB 4 certification is the ability to drive two external monitors over USB-C / Thunderbolt (although perhaps not over the same port).
Thunderbolt 4 is a refinement of Thunderbolt 3. While Intel-based Macs with Thunderbolt 3 often could drive two low-resolution monitors or one 5K monitor over their USB-C (DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3) ports, the M1 Macs can only drive one monitor (which can be a 5K monitor) in this way. Thunderbolt 3 itself has the potential for dual displays, but it doesn't require support for them if the GPU does not have the ability to drive them. RE: "It is advertised that they have Thunderbolt 3 and Displayport 2 support which shows capacity for 2 screens (40gb/s)"Īctually, for every Apple Silicon Mac released to date, Thunderbolt 3 indicates lack of support for the number of displays that you want. That suggests (although it does not absolutely prove) that we are looking at a hardware limitation of these chips. I have not yet heard of a Mac using the base M1 chip or the base M2 chip that can drive more directly-attached monitors than this. Yes, two displays – including the built-in one (if any). RE: "The M2 is capable of driving multiple monitors."
